Description

King prawn chilli and garlic recipe that is great for the summer months on the BBQ. However you can make these king prawns with chilli and garlic.

Of course the weather might not be on your side, so why not use a griddle pan and cook them indoors. I think is what is fabulous about these type of dishes, as they can be cooked both indoors and outdoors.

The other reason I like this recipe, is because I have often made these and put cocktail sticks in them on occasions such as a New Years Eve party. They make great canapés.

The other favourite in our household, is to cook them, take them off the sewer, then put them in a wrap, with salad and mayonnaise. Otherwise you can use them with a salad, or even with a stir fry.

This is one quick, versatile and useful recipe to have.

Instructions

Make up the marinade by placing the garlic, oil, soya sauce, chilli, honey, coriander, lemon, salt and pepper into a bowl and then mixing well.

Place the prawns into the marinade, making sure they are coated all over, cover with cling film and place in the fridge for around half an hour.

When wanting to cook the prawns, thread them onto the skewers. Please see notes below. Keep any remaining marinade to one side.

Then heat your grill, or better still a griddle pan to a high temperature. Place the skewers onto the griddle or under the grill. Cook for two minutes on one side, turn and baste with remaining marinade and cook for a further two minutes. Cooking them should take no more than 4 minutes, but do check to see that they are pink all the way through.

This recipe serves four people, so just alter the ingredient amounts according to the amount of guests you have. If you are making larger quantities then cook them in batches to stop them steaming, which ensures they have some nice crisp parts. It is great served with a nice crisp side salad.
