Grilled prawns are a delicious and flavorful seafood dish that is enjoyed around the world, including in Nigeria. Here's a description:
Grilled prawns are typically made by marinating large prawns or shrimp in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and marinades, then grilling them over an open flame or barbecue until they are cooked through and have a delicious charred exterior.
To prepare grilled prawns, the prawns are first cleaned and deveined, leaving the shell intact for added flavor and protection during grilling. They are then seasoned with a blend of ingredients such as garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper, as well as fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, and cilantro.
Once marinated, the prawns are threaded onto skewers or placed directly on the grill and cooked for a few minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. During grilling, the prawns may be basted with additional marinade to keep them moist and flavorful.
Grilled prawns are often served hot and garnished with lemon wedges and fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation. They can be enjoyed as a main course alongside side dishes such as rice, grilled vegetables, or salad, or served as an appetizer or snack.
Grilled prawns are loved for their succulent texture, sweet and briny flavor, and smoky charred exterior. They are a popular dish at parties, celebrations, and gatherings in Nigeria, where they are enjoyed by seafood lovers of all ages.
