Best Citrus Prawn Marinade Recipes

CITRUS PRAWN MARINADE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, brandy, chile, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix the marinade well. With a small knife, slice through shell and back of each prawn and remove the 'vein'. Add the prawns to the marinade and set aside for 20 minutes.
• Drain the prawns then blot them dry. Build a hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill. Cook the shrimp over high heat until just warm at the center 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Serve warm drizzled with a little marinade if desired.

• Place shrimp in a bowl, and pour the citrus marinade over them. Let them marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp about 3 minutes per side, in batches if necessary, until opaque. Spoon a little of the marinade in with them for extra flavor while they cook if you like.
