How to Make Barbecue Prawns
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve immediately with your favorite salad or side dish. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
