Ingredients
- 1 pound large prawns
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 whole lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Start by peeling and deveining the prawns, leaving the tails intact for easier grilling and presentation. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix the ingredients to form a marinade.
Step 3
Add the prawns to the bowl and toss them gently to coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Step 4
While the prawns are marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, arrange the prawns in a single layer on the grill. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn opaque and develop grill marks.
Step 6
Transfer the grilled prawns to a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra spritzing, and enjoy this Whole30-compliant, flavorful dish!
