Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Step 2
Add the sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the mixture and stir well.
Step 3
Place the prawns into the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers, making sure to pass the skewer through both the tail and the thicker end.
Step 6
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the prawns from sticking.
Step 7
Place the prawn skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns turn opaque and have grill marks.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the grill and sprinkle them with fresh chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the prawns.
