Throw a Shrimp on the Barbie
A classic Australian saying to create a delicious Summer BBQ
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
Serves 4
- 1 kg FRESH RAW PRAWNS: , Deveined. I like to leave the heads and tails on.
- 1/2 cup FRESH MINT: , Finely chopped
- 3 cloves GARLIC: , Diced
- 2 medium CHILLI :, Diced
- 2 whole CAPSICUM: , Finely sliced
- 4 tbsp OLIVE OIL:
- 1 medum RED ONION: , Finely Sliced
Let's get cooking!
Finely chop the garlic, mint and chilli - leave to the side
Finely slice the onion and capsicum - leave to the side
Devein the prawns by running a sharp knife across the back and the insides will come out. Keep the head and tails on. Give the prawns a rinse.
In a large dish, place the onion and capsicum on the base, then the prawns. Sprinkle over the garlic, mint and chilli, Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze fresh lemon. Leave in the fridge for an hour or so.
Heat up the BBQ or Grill Plate - make sure its HOT! You want to hear the sizzle. Drizzle a little olive oil and place the mixture on the hot plate. Cook by turning the prawns until they change to a beautiful orange colour and the veggies are still crisp.
Serve with a vibrant green salad or roasted veggies!
