Garlic Herb Grilled Giant Prawns
Discover the ultimate Garlic Herb Grilled Giant Prawns recipe! Tender, juicy prawns grilled to perfection with garlic, lemon, and fresh herbs. Perfect for BBQs, seafood lovers, and summer feasts!
Ingredients:
8 giant prawns, shells on, split open lengthwise
3 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or oregano/thyme mix)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Using a sharp knife, split each prawn open along the back without removing the shell completely. Remove the vein for clean, tender prawns.
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh parsley, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper.
This garlic herb butter will infuse the prawns with a rich, zesty flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Brush the prawns generously with the garlic herb butter mixture.
Place prawns shell-side down on the grill for 4–5 minutes. Flip and grill for another 2–3 minutes until shells turn vibrant orange-red and the meat is opaque and juicy.
Baste with extra garlic herb butter while grilling for maximum flavor.
Arrange the grilled prawns neatly on a long platter.
Drizzle any remaining garlic herb butter over the top.
Sprinkle extra chopped parsley and herbs, and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
Pro Tip: For an extra smoky flavor, add a few lemon slices directly on the grill alongside the prawns.
