Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large raw prawns
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the prawns thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, creating the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the prawns and toss until the prawns are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers, piercing through both the tail and head end to secure each prawn.
Place the prawn skewers on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the prawns are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will become tough.
Remove the prawns from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an additional burst of citrus flavor.
