- 2 lemons
- 1 tbsp olive oil or macadamia oil
- Gondwana Macadamia Seasoned Bush Crumb
Method
1. Prepare the Prawns
- Peel prawns, removing shells and heads but keeping the tails on.
- Devein each prawn by making a small slit along the back and discarding the dark vein.
- Thread prawns onto skewers, tails facing down. (Tip: this step can be prepped ahead of time.)
2. Grill the Prawns
- Brush prawns with olive oil or macadamia oil.
- Preheat BBQ or grill to high heat.
- Brush prawns again with oil of choice.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes each side, turning regularly until pink and cooked through.
3. Add the Crunch
- Immediately roll hot prawns in a shallow bowl of macadamia bush crumb, coating liberally.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve as BBQ prawn skewers with lemon wedges.
- Toss through a summer salad for a more substantial meal.
- Swap skewers for smaller peeled prawns cooked directly on the BBQ, then coat with crumb.
Note: an alternative to skewered prawns is cooking smaller peeled green prawns on a hot grill or BBQ then tossing them through a dish of the macadamia crumb to coat. Serve as a side dish with a fork or toothpick or add to a fresh summer salad.
