Ingredients
- 16 pieces large prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 8 pieces bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the bacon. Cut each bacon strip in half, so you have two shorter strips per piece of bacon.
Step 2
Wrap each prawn tightly with a half-strip of bacon and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 4
Brush the marinade evenly over the bacon-wrapped prawns, ensuring all sides are coated.
Step 5
Take the wooden skewers (pre-soaked to prevent burning) and thread 2 bacon-wrapped prawns onto each skewer.
Step 6
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crispy and the prawns are cooked through.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the brochettes from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
