Iconic Aussie BBQ Prawns (Shrimp) image

Well here it is, my BBQ prawn recipe. Removing the shells allows the marinade to get into the prawns, allowing less marinating time.

Categories     Australian

Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup olive oil (good quality)
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped fine
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1 kg large green prawns, peeled, tails still on

Steps:

  • Mix everything together in a glass or ceramic bowl.
  • Marinate for 30 - 60 minutes (while you make a salad, slice the bread, set the table and get the barbie heated up).
  • You can either throw the prawns on just like this OR you can thread them onto skewers - either works.
  • Cook over a medium heat until the prawns are lovely and orange - don't over cook or they will be woody and chewy.
  • Serve with a salad and bread.
