Prawns, Grilled (Broiled)

Ingredients

18 large cooked prawns

4 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon chilli powder

1 teaspoon garlic pulp

1-½ teaspoon soft light brown sugar

3 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)

1 fresh green chilli, sliced

1 tomato, sliced

1 small onion, cut into rings

Lemon wedges

 Method

  1. Peel the prawns and rinse them gently under cold water.
  2. Using a sharp knife, make a slit at the back of each prawn and open out into a butterfly shape, cleaning out the dark vein.
  3. Put the remaining ingredients, with the exception of the chilli, tomato, onion and lemon wedges, in a bowl and mix together thoroughly.
  4. Add the prawns to the spice mixture, making sure they are well coated, and leave to marinate for about 1 hour.
  5. Place the green chilli, tomato slices and onion rings in the flameproof dish.
  6. Add the prawn mixture and cook under a very hot broiler for about 10 minutes, basting several times.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with the lemon wedges.
