Description
A delicious recipe for Grilled Peri-Peri Prawns served with a refreshing avocado salsa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup peri-peri sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the prawns, peri-peri sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the prawns evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- While the prawns are marinating, prepare the avocado salsa. In a separate bowl, mix together the diced avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Gently stir to combine and set aside.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated prawns onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each prawn for even cooking.
- Grill the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Remove the prawns from the grill and serve immediately with the avocado salsa on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add chopped fresh chili peppers to the avocado salsa.
- You can substitute the prawns with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
