How to Make Grilled Prawns
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic and finely chop 1/2 medium red onion.
- In a bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, chopped onion, and 3 tablespoons of peanut oil.
- Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined prawns to the bowl and gently toss to coat completely.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the prawns to marinate fully.
- Preheat your grill, barbecue, or broiler to medium-high heat.
- Grill the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
- While the prawns are grilling, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon sriracha (or to taste), and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
- Arrange the grilled prawns on a platter and drizzle generously with the spicy peanut sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions (optional).
