About Grilled Prawns
Grilled prawns is one of the most popular dish you can make using prawns. Try to use jumbo prawns or king prawns which adds so much juicy texture to the prawns. The marination which I have given here is perfect for prawns or any seafood.
The longer you marinate, the better the taste will be. Also don't over grill or cook the prawns else it may get rubbery in texture.

Grilled Prawns Ingredients
Prawns - try to choose large size prawns also known as jumbo prawns or king prawns for maximum taste.
Garlic & Ginger - these aromatics adds flavour and aroma to the prawns when it is grilled.
Spring Onions & Coriander leaves - you can use onions, shallots instead of spring onions. Fresh coriander leaves adds fresh taste. Mint leaves can be added for aroma.
Chilli Powder - I used kashmiri chilli powder which is important for the colour.
Seasonings - salt, sugar and soy sauce is used as seasonings.
Lemon juice - be generous with the vinegar or lemon juice. It helps remove the raw smell from the prawns.
Oil - you can use oil, ghee or butter for grilling the prawns.
