These are ridiculously tasty! You HAVE to eat these with your fingers as part of the enjoyment is the finger licking at the end!
I use shell on prawns, I then remove the shell, leaving the tail on, remove the vein and then butterfly the prawns to maximise the surface area for the marinade to cover.
Serves 4.
Ingredients
1kg prawns, shells removed, deveined and butterflied
120mls olive oil
3 garlic cloves
handful fresh parsley
handful fresh oregano
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 2 lemons
salt and pepper
Method
Process the oil, garlic, parsley, oregano, zest, juice, salt and pepper.
Combine the prawns and dressing in a large bowl and allow to marinade for 30 minutes.
Cook in a frying pan or on the barbecue flat plate over high heat until the prawn meat is cooked through.
Serve immediately.

Wow! I love prawns. I guess I could try this one, but I’m going to make it more spicy. Butterflying prawns is a new one for me though. Lovely blog and great photos. Mouth watering!
Thanks so much Sonia! If you like your food spicy I’d recommend adding green chilli to the marinade, unfortunately one of my boys is not a chilli fan so I sometimes omit it to keep the peace! 🙂 Ros
