Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup olive oil (good quality)
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped fine
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1 kg large green prawns, peeled, tails still on

Steps:

Mix everything together in a glass or ceramic bowl.
Marinate for 30 - 60 minutes (while you make a salad, slice the bread, set the table and get the barbie heated up).
You can either throw the prawns on just like this OR you can thread them onto skewers - either works.
Cook over a medium heat until the prawns are lovely and orange - don't over cook or they will be woody and chewy.
Serve with a salad and bread.

Tips:

Select the right prawns: Choose fresh, large prawns with firm, translucent flesh and no off-odors.
Prepare the prawns properly: Devein the prawns and remove the heads, leaving the tails intact.
Marinate the prawns: Marinate the prawns in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs for at least 30 minutes to enhance their flavor.
Use high heat: Cook the prawns over high heat to quickly sear them and prevent them from becoming tough.
Cook until just opaque: Overcooking will make the prawns tough, so cook them only until they turn opaque and pink.
Serve immediately: Prawns are best served immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and juicy.
