Grilled Red-Hot Tiger Prawns Recipe

Serves: 6 portions of 4 each

Preparation and Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
2 lbs. Tiger Prawns = 24 Pieces
Olive oil
1-3 lemons – half a lemon for juice; cut the rest into lemon wheels
1 bunch of fresh rosemary stalks
Boo and Henry’s Burnin’ Hot Love BBQ Seasoning
Boo and Henry’s Red-Hot Vinegar BBQ

  1. Use fresh Tiger Prawns (U-12 size, head-on), and rinse clean in cold water.
  2. Season prawns with olive oil and lemon juice.
  3. Sprinkle on “Burnin’ Hot Love” BBQ Seasoning. Cover both sides generously.
  4. On the grill, lay fresh rosemary stalks.
  5. Over medium-high heat, charbroil or grill the prawns atop the fresh rosemary stalks, cooking prawns 2 minutes on each side.
  6. Glaze the prawns with Boo and Henry’s Red-Hot Vinegar BBQ Sauce on both sides, and grill 1-2 more minutes until done.
  7. Serve immediately, and garnish with fresh lemon wheels and grilled rosemary.

The grilling and smoking will help create a nice sear on both sides. Serve this grilled shrimp on skewers as an appetizer, or present as a main dish along with Dirty Rice and Grilled Asparagus. However you dish it up, this mouth-watering shrimp dish will disappear before the umpire can say “IT’S OUTTA HERE!”
