Tips

Serve on top of a small quantity of steak or rice.
Add a mixed salad for a healthy balanced meal. Salad will provide lots of extra vitamins and minerals which are important for maintaining healthy skin, eyes and sperm and maintaining good general health. Adding a salad to every meal is a great way to improve you diet.
Combine the prawns and marinade in a disposable bag. Tie the bag in a knot. It will be easy to distribute the marinade without making a mess.
Take care when preparing raw prawns as they can cause food poisoning if they come into contact with raw foods like salad.

This recipe is a BBQ favourite at Sheryl’s house in Eraring, NSW.
