Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large prawns, deveined and shell-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 lemon, sliced for garnish
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the prawns to the marinade and toss to coat each prawn evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour to let the flavors infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Once the grill is hot, thread the marinated prawns onto skewers, if using wooden skewers, make sure they have been soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Place the skewered prawns on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the prawns are opaque and have a nice char. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will become tough.
Remove the prawns from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve immediately with lemon slices and an additional sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy your Whole30 Grilled Prawns with Garlic and Lemon as a delightful and healthy main course or appetizer.
