Grilled Herb Prawns
Are you ready for more skewer action?!
While my spicy shrimp skewers reign supreme for seafood skewer action in my book, I absolutely love these garlic herb prawns, also served up on, you guessed it, a skewer. Simple yet flavorful, these prawns on the barbie are such a perfect summer treat. The prawns turn out plump and succulent as ever, smothered in fragrant garlic and herb flavors and kissed with smoky char from the barbecue. Pair them with a salad or saute of fresh veggies and it's a perfect summer meal for those hot nights when you want to keep it light on the cooking.
You'll be even more wowed by this recipe once you see how easy it is to throw them together! Your next summer barbecue is begging for these bad boys.
