Grilled Peel And Eat Spot Prawns With Garlic Herb Butter

A simple and delicious spring recipe perfect for highlighting the fresh sweetness of BC Spot Prawns. For the full blog post with other recipes and my time commercially fishing prawns, click here.

Fresh West Coast Peel And Eat Spot Prawns (Shrimp)

Grilled Peel And Eat Spot Prawns With Garlic Herb Butter

Delicious and easy, these large size shrimp are perfect to toss on the grill, basting a few times with garlic butter and herbs, then served on a platter with lots of napkins for your guests to eat, shelling them as they go.
My best tips? Cook the prawns minimally to avoid overcooking and serve them outside on a picnic table covered in newspaper for easy cleanup.

  • Organize your prawns, garlic butter, basting brush and a plate to put cooked prawns on beside the grill. Place prawns on the grill then baste with garlic butter and close lid for 1 minute. Open and flip prawns and baste again then close lid for 1 more minute.
    Open lid and check prawns, removing any that are opaque through and let remaining cook until just opaque. Depending on the heat of your grill, this shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes. Once all prawns are on plate, drizzle remaining butter mixture over and serve immediately.
