How to Make Barbecue Prawns

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined prawns (shrimp) to the marinade. Gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Thread 4 prawns onto each bamboo skewer. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  4. Grill the prawn skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Baste with extra marinade during grilling for added flavor.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite salad or side dish. Enjoy!
