Ingredients
- 1 pound Prawns, large, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, black pepper, parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 2
Add the prawns to the bowl and toss them well, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove prawns from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Thread them onto skewers, if desired, for easier handling while grilling.
Step 5
Place the prawns on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and charred at the edges. Be careful not to overcook them.
Step 6
Remove the prawns from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Step 7
Serve the grilled prawns with lemon wedges on the side for extra freshness.
Step 8
Enjoy your vibrant and citrusy low sodium garlic and lemon grilled prawns!
