Barbecued garlic and basil prawns
One of our resident community contributors, Anne Taylor, shares this super simple summer-peefect dish for barbecuing prawns.
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup olive oil
- 1 knob of garlic, crushed
- A handful of basil leaves, finely chopped
- Juice of a lemon
- Salt and pepper
- 1 kilo of raw prawns peeled and deveined
- Sourdough bread, to serve
Method:
1. Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and then add prawns – let sit for at least about 30 minutes. Don’t let the mixture sit for too long otherwise the lemon juice will cook the prawns.
2. Throw the prawns on the BBQ to cook.
3. Serve with sourdough bread.
TIP: The prawns must be fresh – don’t buy prawns that have been pre-frozen.
