A co-worker gave this to me years ago from the (late) Adriatica. We've cut back on the feta and it's still good, but I wanted to post the recipe as we knew it.

GARLIC PRAWNS

This is a great easy prawn marinade, they are great on the BBQ, we put them out as appetizers but they can also be a main course. I've also sauteed them with the marinade and used the sauce with pasta or just lapped it up with French bread! ENJOY.

Tips:

  • Use fresh prawns: Fresh prawns have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen prawns. If you can, buy them live and cook them within a day or two.
  • Clean the prawns properly: Remove the heads, shells, and veins from the prawns. To devein the prawns, make a shallow cut along the back of each prawn and remove the black vein.
  • Marinate the prawns: Marinating the prawns in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to flavor them and keep them moist during cooking.
  • Cook the prawns quickly: Prawns only take a few minutes to cook. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the prawns immediately: Prawns are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or pasta.
