Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Garlic Prawns with Citrus Marinade.
Step 1
To start your delicious grilled tiger prawns, grab a glass dish and mix together some olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, orange juice, dried basil, and white wine if you’re feeling adventurous.
Step 2
Give it a good stir to create a flavorful marinade that will make your prawns sing.
Step 3
Next, add the tiger prawns to the marinade, making sure they’re thoroughly coated in that zesty goodness.
Step 4
Cover the dish and let those prawns soak up all the flavors in the refrigerator for about an hour—this is where the magic happens! While the prawns are marinating, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat, so it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to cook.
Step 5
Once the hour is up, thread the marinated prawns onto skewers, making sure they’re snug but not overcrowded.
Step 6
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, turning them once, until they turn a beautiful pink and are cooked through.
Step 7
If you’d like to elevate your dish even further, you can reserve the marinade.
Step 8
Just pour it into a saucepan, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Step 9
This creates a delightful sauce to serve alongside your grilled prawns, adding an extra layer of flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy your meal and the compliments that are sure to follow!.
