Serves 6 people
Cooking time 1 hour 20 mins

  • 2kg large green prawns
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup parsley, roughly chopped
  • 150g The Organic Milk Co.
  • Salted Butter, softened
  • 4 large limes, zest and juice
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Using a pair of kitchen scissors, snip off the long, curly feelers and front legs. Using a sharp knife cut along the back of the prawns but not through the prawn. Open the prawn up like a butterfly and press it down gently to flatten. Rinse and remove the intestinal tract. Skewer prawns from head to tail.
  2. Preheat BBQ grill to medium heat. In a food processor, combine garlic, parsley, butter, lime zest and juice together into a coarse paste. Coat prawns with paste and season. Place on preheated BBQ grill for 2-3 mins per side or until they turn an opaque pink colour and are lightly charred. Serve warm with a squeeze of lime.
