Glass of water

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade:

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, sliced chillies, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Marinate the Prawns:

Place the prawns in a bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the prawns, ensuring they are well-coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Prepare the Barbecue:

Light the charcoal using firelighters and matches or a lighter, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Allow the charcoal to burn until covered with white ash, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
Once ready, spread the charcoal evenly in the grill and adjust the heat to medium-high.
Grill the Prawns:

Remove the prawns from the marinade and thread them onto skewers if desired (this makes them easier to handle on the grill).
Place the prawns on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and have nice grill marks.
Serve:

Transfer the grilled prawns to a serving platter.
Garnish with extra lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
Serve with fresh crusty bread for dipping in the flavorful marinade.
