Preparing BBQ Grilled Prawns with Garlic, Lemon & Chilli is straightforward and fun. Follow these steps for a mouthwatering result:
1. Prep the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, chilli flakes, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2. Marinate the Prawns: Add the prawns to the marinade and toss until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4. Skewer the Prawns: If you’re using skewers, thread the marinated prawns onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each prawn for even cooking.
5. Grill the Prawns: Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn opaque and slightly charred.
6. Serve: Once done, remove the prawns from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
7. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the prawns for a pop of color.
Your BBQ Grilled Prawns are now ready to be enjoyed!
