Citrus Prawn Marinade Recipes

BBQ PRAWNS WITH CITRUS GARLIC MARINADE AND DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• Place the prawns in a large bowl and pour approx half the marinade over them and gently stir to coat. You can cook them right away or refrigerate for a couple of hours to let the flavour infuse.
• Prepare the Citrus and Herb dipping sauce by combining the sauce ingredients together and refrigerate until needed.
• When ready to cook the prawns place them on skewers, if using (you can do this step ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to cook).
• Heat the BBQ or a grill pan and brush with oil so it does not stick (I'm not a fan of cooking sprays, but if you like to use a natural one it does help them not to stick on the grill). When the BBQ or grill pan is hot, gently place the prawn skewers or prawns on the BBQ or grill pan and cook for approx 2 - 3 minutes on one side then turn and cook for approx. 2 - 3 more minutes until cooked through (you may want to cook 1 extra prawn so you can test it to see if it is ready). When done, set the prawns on a platter, drizzle with a little of the marinade and cover to keep warm, if not serving immediately.
• When ready to serve place them on a serving platter with a bowl of dipping sauce or on top of salad greens drizzled with some of the remaining marinade and serve some dipping sauce on the side.

• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp about 3 minutes per side, in batches if necessary, until opaque. Spoon a little of the marinade in with them for extra flavor while they cook if you like.
