Barbecue Ginger Prawns Shrimp Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, paprika and garlic powder in a large bowl; whisk to combine.
• Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the marinade. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours max.
• Skewer 4-6 shrimp on each soaked skewer and place on a plate while skewering the remaining shrimp.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until the color is pink and shrimp is opaque.
• Serve warm with fresh parsley and lemon slices, if desired.

BBQ SHRIMP

Steps:

• Set up your grill for even medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the coals evenly. If using a gas grill, heat both sides evenly.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, paprika, salt, cumin, coriander, cayenne and lime zest and juice. Add the shrimp and allow to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature and up to 3 hours refrigerated.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade and place on a cooling rack in a single layer. Put the cooling rack on the grill and cook the shrimp, pulling the cooling rack off the grill to flip them, until charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• To serve: Add the shrimp to a platter and garnish with lime wedges.

• For the Shrimp:
• If necessary, pat shrimp dry, then thread about 6 shrimp (through top and tail, leaving shrimp curled), onto each skewer, without leaving space between shrimp.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high for gas); see Grilling Procedure.
• Meanwhile, brush shrimp with vegetable oil and sprinkle evenly with salt.
• Lightly oil grill rack. Grill shrimp, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, 2 minutes. Brush shrimp with some sauce from the saucepan, then turn. Brush shrimp with additional sauce then grill until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with reserved sauce.

ICONIC AUSSIE BBQ PRAWNS (SHRIMP)

Steps:

• Mix everything together in a glass or ceramic bowl.

• You can either throw the prawns on just like this OR you can thread them onto skewers - either works.
• Cook over a medium heat until the prawns are lovely and orange - don't over cook or they will be woody and chewy.
• Serve with a salad and bread.
