How to Make Bbq Prawns With Honey Ginger Mayonnaise

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 stalks lemongrass (finely minced), 4 kaffir lime leaves (roughly chopped), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
  2. Add 1 pound (450g) prawns to a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Pour the lemongrass mixture over the prawns.
  3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. While the prawns marinate, prepare the honey-ginger mayonnaise: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander.
  5. Cover the mayonnaise mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  6. Preheat your barbecue or chargrill pan to high heat.
  7. Remove the prawns from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  8. Grill the prawns for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and curl, turning occasionally.
  9. Transfer the cooked prawns to a serving platter.
  10. Serve immediately with the honey-ginger mayonnaise. Garnish with extra coriander if desired.
