Ingredients

2 Servings

Method

  1. 1

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes so they do not burn. Mix oil, garlic, parsley, lemon juice and chilli in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Thread the prawns onto the skewers, no more than two layers, so they cook evenly. Pour two thirds of the marinade over the prawns.

  3. 3

    Grill over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, brushing with marinade. The prawns are done when pink and no longer glassy.

  4. 4

    Boil the remaining marinade in a small pot for 2 minutes, then pour it over the hot skewers. Serve with lemon juice.

Galley tip

Do not refreeze thawed prawns. Boil marinade that touched raw fish before serving it, or throw it away.

Do not cook in heavy seas. Secure the stove and pot, use drinking water and keep perishables refrigerated.
