Instructions

Creating BBQ Grilled Prawns with Garlic, Lemon & Chilli can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped chillies, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Marinate the Prawns: Add the prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes for maximum flavor penetration.
  3. Preheat the Grill: While the prawns are marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Prepare the Skewers (if using): If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread prawn onto skewers, if desired for easier handling.
  5. Grill the Prawns: Place the marinated prawns directly onto the grill rack or on skewers. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and slightly charred.
  6. Check for Doneness: Ensure the prawns are cooked through but not overcooked, as they can become tough.
  7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the prawns from the grill. Garnish them with freshly chopped parsley.
  8. Serve: Plate the prawns and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

With these clear steps to follow, you’ll be able to create these delightful BBQ grilled prawns effortlessly.
