Classic Australian BBQ Prawns
A quintessential Australian Christmas BBQ tradition, these succulent prawns are grilled to perfection with garlic butter and served with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Simple, quick, and always a crowd-pleaser.
🧂 Ingrediente
- 1 kg Large king prawns (shell on, deveined)
- 100 g Garlic butter
- 2 Lemon
- 1/2 cup Fresh parsley
👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Prepare the prawns: Using a sharp knife, carefully split each prawn lengthwise down the back, from the head to the tail. Do not cut all the way through; you want to create a butterfly effect. Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for even cooking and allows the butter to penetrate.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Preheat your barbecue or grill to medium-high heat (approximately 200-220°C / 400-425°F). Place the prepared prawns, shell-side down, directly onto the hot grill grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes, or until the shells start to turn pink and slightly charred.
⏱️ 3-4 minutes - 3
Flip the prawns so they are flesh-side down. Immediately brush the exposed flesh generously with the garlic butter. Continue to grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until the prawns are opaque, cooked through, and the garlic butter is bubbling and fragrant. Be careful not to overcook, as this will make them tough.
⏱️ 3-4 minutes - 4
Remove the prawns from the barbecue. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the hot prawns. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
