# Instructions:
01 -
Light a few fire starters on the grate at the bottom of your grill. Once they’re burning, stack the charcoal on top, focusing the heat in the middle.
02 -
Warm olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Toss in the grated garlic and chilli slices. Cook gently for 2 minutes before mixing in the lemon zest and juice. Don’t let the garlic brown—it should stay tender and fragrant.
03 -
Drizzle half of the warm garlic and olive oil mix over your prawns. Rub the seasoning under the shells so it fully covers each one.
04 -
Once the coals turn completely white, they’re ready. Place a clean grilling rack securely on top.
05 -
Lay the prawns across the grill. Grill them for about 45 seconds to a minute per side, until lightly charred all over. The shells should turn orange and the flesh inside will become opaque. Splash any big flames with a little water if needed.
06 -
Move the grilled prawns to a fresh plate. Pour the rest of the garlicky sauce on top. Serve right away with crusty bread and a squeeze of lemon if you like.
