Grilled Lemon Shrimp (Prawns)
Total time: 15 min longer if you have to clean them
Use a grill pan (it's like a mesh skillet) or a mat for these, if possible. Or thread them onto skewers (soaked in water for 15 minutes if wood) to make them easier to turn. We don't want them falling through the grill.
Ingredients:
- 12oz large shrimp (prawns), 350gr, 12.4oz cleaned
- 2 tsp garlic powder, 5.6gr, .2oz
- 3 tsp sweet or smoked paprika, 6.3gr, .23oz
- 2 tbs butter, 28.4gr, 1oz
- 2 tbs lemon juice, 30gr, 1oz
- Olive oil for coating pan
Instructions:
- Clean shrimp if needed, if not just rinse and let drain.
- Mix 1 tsp garlic and 2 tsp paprika in a small bowl.
- Add shrimp and toss to coat.
- To cook on barbecue either put shrimp on skewers or cook in perforated grill pan with a little olive oil. To cook on stove add a little olive oil to a large frying pan and sauté over medium-high heat for 3 - 5 minutes - until shrimp curl and turn opaque.
- When done, remove from heat, toss with butter sauce and serve.
- Butter sauce: Melt butter in small pan. Add 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp paprika and sauté about 1 minute.
- Add lemon juice and whisk lightly to combine.
