Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, deveined and shells removed
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spray cooking spray
- 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the prawns to the bowl and toss them gently to ensure they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, and up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat on the stovetop over medium-high heat and lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
Step 4
Remove the prawns from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade.
Step 5
Place the prawns on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become tough.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 7
Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Step 8
Enjoy your delicious low fat grilled prawns with garlic and lemon!
