How to Make Bbq Prawns

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined prawns to the bowl. Gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread prawns onto skewers (optional).
  4. Grill prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
  5. Serve immediately with toothpicks. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley (optional).
  6. **Optional additions for extra flavor:** Wrap each prawn in a half-slice of bacon before grilling. Add a dash of your favorite hot sauce for extra heat. Experiment with fresh herbs like chives or dill for a brighter taste.
