Cajun Prawns

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Prawns

    In a bowl, combine prawns, Cajun seasoning, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grilling Method

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated prawns onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.

  3. 3

    Deep-Frying Method

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy pot to 180°C (350°F). Deep fry the marinated prawns in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare Lemon Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 minced garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grilled or deep-fried Cajun prawns hot with lemon aioli on the side.
