Time 5h30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 kg prawns (try to use queen or big ones always better for grilling)
125 g butter (no substitutes)
10 ml freshly crushed garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
5 ml red chili pepper flakes (use more if you like it hotter the original recipe has 10ml)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
salt
25 ml mayonnaise
25 ml chili sauce
15 ml lemon juice

Steps:

Wash and devein prawns but retain the shell. Retaining the shell makes it more tasty. Dry prawns well.
Melt butter and add the garlic to to it; mix well.
Add rest of the ingredients to butter mixture except prawns.
Marinate the prawns in HALF of this marinade for several hours. 2-4hrs is sufficient. (I sometimes add all the sauce if I want it saucy).
Place prawns in oven tray and grill till done on 180°C tossing them at intervals.
Heat the rest of the marinade until thickens into a sauce pour some of the sauce over the grilling prawns and use the rest as a dipping sauce for prawns. Serve hot. Serve with savoury rice and a salad. You can also substitute prawns with shrimp.
