Ingredients

Scale

Gather the following ingredients for your BBQ Grilled Prawns with Garlic, Lemon & Chilli:

  • 1 lb large prawns, peeled and deveined (tails on)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade:

  1. Combine the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped chilli, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Taste and Adjust: Taste the marinade and adjust the seasoning as needed—add more chilli if you prefer extra spice or more lemon juice for added tang.

Marinate the Prawns:

  1. Marinate the Prawns: Add the prawns to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor. Avoid marinating for too long as the acid in the lemon can start to “cook” the prawns.

Grill the Prawns:

  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed and hot.
  2. Grill the Prawns: Place the prawns on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as prawns can become tough when grilled too long.

Serve and Garnish:

  1. Serve the Prawns: Transfer the grilled prawns to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
