Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix until well blended. For a zesty kick, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. - Prepare the Prawns
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully brush them with a light coat of olive oil, which will help prevent sticking while grilling. - Grilling
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (200-220°C). Place the prawns directly on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. - Basting with Garlic Butter
While grilling, occasionally brush the prawns with the garlic and parsley butter to infuse flavor. Reserve a small amount for a final coating after cooking if desired. - Serving
Serve the prawns hot, garnished with any remaining garlic butter and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a bright presentation. Offer lemon wedges on the side.
Tips and Variations
- Skewers: Threading prawns onto skewers can make them easier to manage on the grill.
- Optional Marinade: For added flavor, marinate the prawns in olive oil, lemon juice, and a bit of garlic for 15-20 minutes before grilling.
- Alternative Cooking Method: If you don’t have a grill, you can prepare this recipe in a hot skillet or broil in the oven for similar results.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with crusty bread, a fresh green salad, or grilled vegetables to complement the rich flavors. A light white wine, like a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, pairs well with this dish.
