Grilled chilli prawns in a blue dish in the centre of the image.

Ingredients

  • 1kg Green King Prawns
  • 2 Red Chillies, deseeded and roughly chopped
  • 1 Bunch Oregano, destemmed
  • 1 Garlic Bulb, cloves peeled
  • Olive Oil
  • 3 Limes halved
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Wooden Skewers

Method

  1. Peel and devein the prawns using a sharp serrated knife, keep the heads and tails intact.

  2. Reserve a little oregano for serving.  Place the chilli, garlic and remaining oregano in the bowl of a food processor or blender.  Gently pulse until combined (stop before it becomes a paste or it will burn on the grill).  Stir the olive oil through.

  3. Toss the prawns in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  4. Thread the prawns onto pre-soaked wooden skewers.

  5. Pre-heat BBQ or cast iron grill until very hot.  Season the prawns with sea salt & pepper.  Cook on one side for 3-5 minutes.  Turn and cook for a further minute, or until just cooked through.

  6. Turn grill off and place the limes, cut side down, on the grill for a few minutes to char and heighten the flavour.

  7. Place prawns on a platter with charred limes and aioli or seafood sauce.  Sprinkle over reserved oregano leaves.

Notes: Allow the prawns to cool a little before serving so fingers don't get burnt!
