Peri Peri Prawns
Succulent grilled prawns coated in a fiery peri peri marinade, offering a taste of South African coastal cuisine.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 500g Large Prawns (shrimp)
- 100ml Peri Peri Sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the peri peri sauce, minced garlic, juice from 1 lemon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Marinate the prawns: Add the peeled and deveined prawns to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to ensure each prawn is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor. Do not marinate for too long as the lemon juice can start to 'cook' the prawns.
⏱️ 20-60 minutes (marinating time) - 3
Preheat your grill: Whether using an outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, clean the grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
⏱️ 5-10 minutes (preheating) - 4
Grill the prawns: Remove prawns from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the prawns in a single layer on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the prawns turn opaque pink and are slightly charred. They should be cooked through but still tender.
⏱️ 6-10 minutes - 5
Serve immediately: Arrange the grilled peri peri prawns on a platter. Serve hot with the reserved lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
