Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the grill is heating, prepare the prawns. If they are not already cleaned, remove the shells and devein them.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, combine the cleaned prawns with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Toss well to coat the prawns evenly.

  4. 4

    Once the grill is hot, place the prawns on the grill in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.

  5. 5

    While the prawns are cooking, cut the lemon in half. Squeeze one half over the prawns as they cook for added flavor.

  6. 6

    Remove the prawns from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate. Chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the prawns.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with the remaining lemon half and slices of crusty bread on the side for dipping.
