Grilled Prawns

This recipe is super simple, fresh and a quick weeknight dinner that will impress! I throw the prawns right onto the grill, but you could also easily skewer them if you’d like. Serve with wild rice and a fresh, seasonal vegetable or a green salad and a crisp glass of Sauvignon Blanc out on the patio on a warm summer evening.

Grilled Prawns

Author: keriawilliams

Ingredients

Servings

• 1 lb large peeled and deveined prawns or shrimp (tail on)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 cloves fresh garlic (finely chopped)
• 2 tsp Creole seasoning
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ¹⁄₄ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Pre-heat grill to between 450-475*. Mix olive oil and lemon juice with garlic, Creole seasoning, smoked paprika and pepper in a bowl large enough to accommodate the shrimp.

   

1. Add shrimp to bowl with marinade and mix to thoroughly coat shrimp in sauce.

   

1. Place prawns on pre-heated grill. Cover and cook for about 2 minutes. Turn and cook for another 2 minutes. Check the prawns--they should be pink and firm at this point, but cook a little longer to your taste if needed.

   

Note

At this heat, the prawns will cook pretty fast, so watch them carefully!
