Ingredients:
12 large prawns, cleaned (keep the heads and shells for more flavour)
100g soft butter
4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 small bunch of fresh parsley, chopped
Juice of half a lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil
Lemon slices (to serve)
Instructions:
Preparing the Prawns
If your prawns are not cleaned yet, gently remove the dorsal vein (the black thread) while keeping the heads and shells. These parts will add extra flavour while cooking!
Preparation of Garlic Butter and Parsley:
In a bowl, mix soft butter with minced garlic, parsley, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper. This mixture will become the key to the intense flavour of your prawns.
Get Your Grill Ready:
If you’re using a braai, make sure it’s hot (medium-high heat). You can also use a grill pan over medium heat. Put a little olive oil on the grills or on the stove to prevent the prawns from sticking.
Grilling the Prawns:
Lavish each prawn with your garlic butter and parsley mix. Then place them on the hot grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. They must be nice golden, slightly crispy on the edges, but still juicy on the inside.
Serving:
Once the prawns are well grilled, transfer them to a serving dish. Pour some of the remaining melted garlic butter over the prawns for more flavour. Serve with lemon quarters to add a little acidity.
Tips and Variations:
Serve with rice, a salad, or even grilled vegetables for a perfect summer meal.
Adjust the amounts of garlic and parsley to your taste.
Have fun preparing this delicious dish!
