Bronzed Aussie Prawns BBQ Recipe
Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes fan, Tony Iomazzo, shares his Bronzed Aussie Prawns recipe.
Ingredients
- 500g shell-on large prawns
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- spicy dipping sauce (see below)
Spicy Dipping Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons minced parsley
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon tabasco (depending on how hot you like it…)
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
Method
Remove the vein from each shrimp by first laying each shrimp flat on a cutting board and cutting down the back of it. (Cut through the shell and only slightly into the flesh as the vein is close to the surface. Do not remove the shell!) Next, remove any visible vein using the point of a small knife
Place the de-veined shrimp in a bowl along with garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Toss, cover, and place in the fridge for several hours (beer time) to overnight. This marinating time is necessary to accentuate the garlic.
Place the prawns on the grill. Grill until the shell on one side is browned (about 4 minutes). Turn over and continue grilling until the prawns are still slightly transparent in the centre.
Remove from the grill and serve with spicy dipping sauce.
Spicy Dipping Sauce
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. This dipping sauce can be made one day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until needed.
