Easy Grilled Prawns With Garlic And Parsley Butter
Report
Delicious and easy, these large size shrimp are perfect to toss on the grill, basting a few times with garlic butter and herbs, then served on a platter with lots of napkins for your guests to eat, shelling them as they go.

Instructions
- Preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium high.
- In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, melt butter with olive oil, parsley, garlic and lemon juice in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Stir together and season with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Be generous with the salt as it will be brushed thinly over all the prawns.
- Organize your prawns, melted garlic butter, basting brush and a plate to put cooked prawns on beside the grill. Place prawns on the grill then baste with garlic butter and close lid for 1 minute. Open and flip prawns and baste again then close lid for 1 more minute.
- Open lid and check prawns, removing any that are opaque through and let remaining cook until just opaque. Depending on the heat of your grill, this shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes. Once all prawns are on plate, drizzle remaining butter mixture over and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you are grilling prawn tails, they will cook in less time than whole prawns. 1 to 1 ½ minutes per side is all they will need.
- If cooking shelled prawns, they will cook in 1-2 minutes.
- My best tips? Cook the prawns minimally to avoid overcooking and serve them outside on a picnic table covered in newspaper for easy cleanup.
