Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for grill
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
12 head-on, tail-on prawns or jumbo shrimp (1 1/2-2 pounds)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Flaky sea salt
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Combine garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes, and 4 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl.
  • Working one at a time, use kitchen shears to cut along the length of the back of each prawn just deep enough into flesh to expose vein; remove. Toss prawns with remaining 2 tablespoons oil in another medium bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Grill prawns, turning occasionally, until shells are bright red and meat is cooked through (it will look slightly opaque), about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with garlic-parsley mixture and toss to coat; season with kosher salt and pepper. Transfer prawns to a serving platter and pour garlic-parsley mixture over; sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chile next time.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'head-on prawns'. I removed the heads before cooking them.

I served this dish with a side of roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect meal. The prawns were the star of the show, but the vegetables were a great complement.

I added some chopped tomatoes to the sauce, and it turned out great! It gave the dish a nice tangy flavor.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used less chile than the recipe called for. It was still plenty flavorful, and I didn't miss the heat.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my prawns turned out a little overcooked. I think I'll reduce the cooking time next time.

Wow, this dish was amazing! The prawns were so flavorful and juicy, and the sauce was to die for. I served it over rice, and it was a perfect meal.

These head-on prawns were a hit at my dinner party! The flavors of the chile, garlic, and parsley were perfectly balanced, and the prawns were cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this dish again.
