- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, ground black pepper, sea salt, and red pepper flakes.
Step 2
Add the peeled and deveined prawns to the garlic and lemon marinade. Toss to coat the prawns evenly with the marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Thread the prawns onto skewers, if using, to make them easier to handle on the grill.
Step 6
Grill the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
Step 7
Remove the prawns from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
