Grilled Prawns

Method

Preparation and Grilling

  1. 1

    Marinate the Prawns

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the prawns and toss well to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Prawns

    Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers (if using) and discard any remaining marinade.

  4. 4

    Grill the Prawns

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns are opaque and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the prawns from the grill and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
