Spot prawns are a rarity and a delicacy. They're a true California treasure and best enjoyed straight from the water. And that's exactly what we do. At Water Grill, we fill our saltwater tanks with live spot prawns and prepare them to order.

Prawns

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Prawns

Start by rinsing the wild spot prawns under cold running water to remove any debris or salt.

2

Season the Prawns

In a large bowl, toss the rinsed prawns with olive oil, sea salt, and minced garlic, ensuring they are well-coated.

3

Grill the Prawns

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the prawns on the grill in a single layer. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.

4

Serve

Remove the prawns from the grill and squeeze fresh lemon juice over them. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
