A delightful recipe for grilled prawns, infused with a zesty citrus marinade and a touch of spice, perfect for a summer gathering.
Combine the yogurt, honey, juice of the lemon, cardamom, ginger, garlic, olive oil, turmeric, paprika, red pepper flakes, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the prawns to the marinade and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Marinating for longer enhances the flavor, but avoid exceeding 4 hours to maintain the prawns' texture.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the prawns onto skewers.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
Grill the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side, basting with the remaining marinade.
Watch the prawns closely to avoid overcooking; they are done when they turn pink and opaque.
Serve the grilled prawns hot with your choice of sides, such as rice or salad.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
