*Includes A Video*

If you have been following my blog for a while,

you know how much I LOVE PRAWNS!

So when we thought off bbq'ing some butterflied queen prawns,

I was in heaven!

We are so use to grilling our prawns in an oven, 

and it tastes amazing,

but bbq'ing or braai'ing it outside brings a whole new dimension to the flavours!

It is best to grill prawns with their shell because, 

 it won't dry out quickly and it will be juicy, and that is what you want!

The recipe I will be sharing is super simple and easy to make,

it's spicy and great to incorporate if you're doing a seafood or grill platter.

INGREDIENTS

 - Prawns Marinade

1 Box of ready butterflied queen prawns (24 pieces)

2 Tb Freshly crushed garlic 

3 1/2 TB Tandoori Powder

3 TB Lemon Juice 

2 1/2 Peri-Peri Oil

- Sauce

2 TB Butter

3 TB Lemon Juice 

2 1/2 Crushed Garlic 

1 - 2 tsp Red chilli powder

* In the video and pictures I shared we just tried with 12 prawns. This is just an estimation of the quantity of spices used, usually I just wing the marinade. I will say it depends on your flavour and what you prefer so you can change it up a bit to suit your palette. 

* When it comes to prawns we prefer queen prawns, they're easy to de-shell, they cook faster and they're easier to cook. You can butterfly your own prawns, but nowadays with ready butterflied prawns you can save yourself a whole lot of time. We use the Woolworths brand ones that come in a box and they're ready cleaned and butterflied.

METHOD

If you're anything like my family,
every Thursday night comes the question
"What should we make for Jummah Lunch?"

Being from an Indian Muslim household,
Friday lunch is hands down always a rice dish,
but usually it's the same old repeats week after week.

One Friday my mum decided to twist up the usual Biryani recipe.
Love Tandoori?
Love Biryani?
Now imagine both! Together! In one meal!!

It tasted amazing!
We smoked the meat,
and next time we're going to smoke the rice as well.

Hope you enjoy this recipe!
