I would like to wish everyone a happy valentines day. I don't normally go beyond a card on valentines day but this year I am making an exception. On this day six months ago Simon and I got married and I can't imagine where the time has gone. This evening I shall be cooking up a feast for the boy as he likes his food. On the menu is thai green curry. Today I shall give you my thai bbq prawns recipe. I know its not summer but they work just as well under the grill. I would give you a photo of them but having made the marinade I've just discovered my prawns are out of date so trip to sainsburys for me! I shall give you a picture of my valentines iced shortbread biscuits instead.
Thai BBQ prawns.
- 1 pack of prawns. (you can use more- the marinade will stretch.)
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed.
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Juice of one lime.
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley (or 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley.
- 1/2 teaspoon hot chili powder. (optional if you don't like spice)
So easy- just place all the ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Give it a stir and add the prawns. Make sure the prawns are all coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and leave for at least half an hour.
In the mean time, if you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water otherwise they will burn under the grill.
Thread the prawns onto the sqewers and place under a hot grill turning them over regularly until cooked throughly.
Happy eating
