Time 39m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup extra-large capers, drained and finely chopped
1 small shallot, finely minced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
12 large prawns, about 1 pound, peeled, deveined, tail left on
Olive oil, for grilling

Steps:

  • Preheat a stove top grill pan to high heat.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, capers, shallots, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let stand to allow flavors to mingle.
  • Cut a deep slit about 1/2-inch long in the bottom third of the shrimp, without cutting all the way through. This will allow the shrimp to butterfly open at the ends as they cook. Toss the prawns with oil and season well with salt and pepper. Grill the shrimp, turning once, until bright pink and just cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
  • To serve, put a dollop of yogurt sauce on a serving plate; stand the shrimp upright with their tails touching around the yogurt. These are terrific with a small salad, rice, or pasta on the side.

This is one of my favorite prawn recipes. It's quick and easy to make, and the prawns are always cooked perfectly. The caper-tzatziki sauce is also delicious.

The caper-tzatziki sauce is what makes this dish special. It's creamy, tangy, and packed with flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the prawns turned out a bit overcooked. I recommend reducing the cooking time by a minute or two.

Grilled prawns is a dish I frequently cook, especially during summer. This recipe stands out with its unique caper-tzatziki sauce. The prawns were cooked perfectly, juicy and tender. The sauce was creamy and tangy, with just the right amount of caper
