Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's clean and oiled to prevent the prawns from sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, finely chopped parsley, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. This will serve as your marinade.
- Add the peeled and deveined prawns to the marinade, ensuring they're fully coated. Allow the prawns to marinate for at least 5-10 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
- Place the marinated prawns on the preheated grill. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side. They should turn a beautiful pink color and become opaque when done.
- Once cooked, remove the prawns from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Garnish with some additional chopped parsley for an added pop of color and freshness.
- Serve your Gamberoni alla Griglia hot, ideally with a side of freshly grilled vegetables and a slice of lemon for an additional zing. Enjoy!
Tips
- For a variation, you can incorporate a splash of white wine into the marinade, or add a hint of spice with a pinch of red pepper flakes. Remember, the key to a good Gamberoni alla Griglia is using the freshest prawns you can find.
