GRILLED PRAWN SKEWERS

Ingredients

450g large prawns peeled and deveined (you can either leave tails on or remove them)
60ml olive oil
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Place the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic in a resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake in the bag to combine.
  2. Add the prawns to the bag and seal. Toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
  3. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours if you wish, but no longer.
  4. Thread the prawns onto the skewers and heat your griddle over a medium high heat.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns are pink and opaque.

BBQ TIPS

  • Prawns cook very quickly, so it’s essential that you watch your prawns to make sure they don’t overcook. Prawns typically take about 2-3 minutes per side on the grill. You’ll be able to tell when the prawns are done because they’ll turn pink and opaque.
  • Don’t marinate the prawns for longer than 2 hours. The acid from the lemon juice can actually cook the prawns without any heat needed, which is what happens with a long marinade time.
