Description
Grilled Peri-Peri Prawns with Garlic, Lemon, and Creamy Sauce. Juicy grilled prawns marinated in garlic, chili, and lemon, finished with a creamy peri-peri drizzle. Bold flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Queen prawns (Cape Point brand works great)
For the Marinade:
- 3 tbsp garlic and ginger paste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 2 tsp Aromat seasoning
- 1 tbsp peri-peri powder
- 2 red chillies, finely chopped (add more for extra heat)
- 2 tsp chili powder
- A drizzle of olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
Instructions
- Toss the prawns with all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours. Turn them every so often to coat evenly.
- Preheat your oven to the highest grill setting.
- Arrange the prawns in a single layer and grill for about 10 minutes, or until they start to pull away from the shells and char slightly.
- For a quick sauce, warm up your favorite Nando’s peri-peri sauce with ¼ cup of fresh cream. Serve on the side or drizzled over the prawns.
- Add lemon wedges and serve hot.
- These are spicy, messy, and absolutely worth it.
