# Instructions:
01 -
Place a few firelighters on the bottom grill of the BBQ. Once lit, pile charcoal on top, forming a concentrated heat source in the center.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add grated garlic and sliced chillies. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in lemon zest and juice, and cook gently until the garlic is no longer raw. Avoid overcooking.
03 -
Pour half of the olive oil and garlic mixture over the prawns. Massage the marinade under the shells to evenly coat the prawns.
04 -
Ensure the coals are white hot with no black areas remaining. Place a clean grill rack over the coals.
05 -
Place prawns on the hot grill. Cook until pink and slightly charred on each side, approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute per side. Use water to calm any excessive flames. Shells should turn pinky-orange, and meat should be pearl white.
06 -
Transfer cooked prawns onto a clean tray. Pour over the remaining garlic, lemon, and chilli sauce. Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges and fresh crusty bread.
