Easy Grilled Prawns with Dipping Sauce

By Saad Fayed, About.com

Prawns are delicious when grilled. Try this great grilled prawn recipe with a tasty dip to accompany. See "Cooking with Prawns" for great tips for preparing and cooking with prawns.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shelled King Prawns (or Jumbo Shrimp)
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 small minced onion
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation:

In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, onions and garlic. Add prawns, tossing them to coat. Leave these to marinade at least three hours in refrigerator.

Grill prawns for about five minutes, turning once. Arrange neatly on a serving platter. Prawn cook very quickly, so be sure to watch them.

The remaining ingredients will be used as a dipping sauce for the grilled prawns. In a small bowl, whisk the peanut butter, lemon juice, black pepper and kosher salt and transfer to a serving bowl. Place in the center of your prawn platter where your family or guests will not be able to resist the temptation to dip.
