BBQ Grilled Prawns with Garlic, Lemon and Chilli

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Light the barbecue with firelighters and charcoal, piling the charcoal in the centre to create a concentrated high-heat zone.
2. Add olive oil to a pan. Grate in the garlic, finely slice the chillies and add them to the oil. Fry over medium heat for about 2 minutes, then add lemon zest and juice. Cook gently until the garlic is no longer raw, without letting it burn.
3. Pour half of the garlic, lemon and chilli oil over the prepared prawns. Massage the marinade under the shells so the prawns are evenly coated.
4. Place the prawns on a clean hot grill. Cook for about 45 seconds to 1 minute per side, until pink-orange outside, pearly white inside and lightly charred. Calm excessive flames with a small sprinkle of water if needed.
5. Transfer the prawns to a clean tray. Pour over the remaining garlic, lemon and chilli sauce, scatter with parsley, and serve immediately with optional lemon wedges and crusty bread.
