BBQ grilled king prawns

Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
The secret to perfect BBQ prawns is the interplay of the glaze and temperature. Prawn meat cooks in moments, so our goal is for the sugary-smoky sauce to caramelise on the surface in that short time without the prawn becoming rubbery. A true finger food that would be a sin to eat with a knife and fork!

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse the prawns, remove the digestive tract (if still present), and most importantly: pat them dust-dry with kitchen paper.

Tip: Water is the enemy of browning. If the prawn is wet, it will steam, not roast, and the marinade will slide off.
2 ✓

Mix the marinade: oil, BBQ sauce, honey, lemon juice, and spices. Toss the prawns in it and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Tip: The salt begins to draw moisture out of the prawn, which concentrates the flavours (osmosis), but if left too long, it can dry out the meat.
3 ✓

Heat the grill or frying pan to high heat. Thread the prawns onto skewers.

Tip: Skewers help you turn them all at once, so every piece cooks for exactly the same amount of time.
4 ✓

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side. When the shell (or the edge of the meat) turns pink and the flesh becomes opaque, they are ready.

Tip: The sugary-honey marinade caramelises suddenly from the heat, giving the 'sticky' BBQ experience, but be careful as sugar burns quickly above 160°C.
5 ✓

In the last half minute, brush them with a little fresh sauce for glaze. Remove, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

Tip: Prawns continue to cook from their own heat after removal, so it's worth taking them off a moment early.

Recipe FAQ

How do I know the prawns are done?
Prawns curl into a 'C' shape when ready. If they close into an 'O' shape, they are overcooked.
Can I use frozen prawns?
Yes, but defrost them slowly in the fridge and dry them very thoroughly before cooking.
