A delightful recipe for grilled prawns marinated in a citrus and honey glaze, perfect for a light and flavorful meal.
Combine olive oil, honey, chopped parsley, juice of one lemon, and five-spice powder in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
Use a whisk to ensure the marinade is well combined and emulsified.
Add the prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Marinating for longer, up to 2 hours, will enhance the flavor.
Thread 4 prawns onto each bamboo skewer.
Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the skewered prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side, basting with leftover marinade.
Avoid overcooking the prawns as they can become rubbery.
Serve the grilled prawns with a fresh salad or your choice of side dish.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a wedge of lemon for presentation.
