Chili & Lime Prawns

 Zesty, buttery and ready in minutes. These chilli and lime prawns are quick to grill and packed with fresh, vibrant flavour. 

Serves: 4

Ingredients 

  • 200g butter, softened
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • 1 large chilli, very finely chopped
  • 1kg large raw prawns, unpeeled

Method 

Follow these simple steps for juicy, flavour-packed prawns with a rich chilli and lime butter.

1. Prepare the barbecue

Set your barbecue for direct cooking over a medium–high heat.

2. Make the chilli and lime butter

In a bowl, mix the softened butter with the garlic, chilli, lime zest and lime juice until well combined.

3. Chill the butter

Spoon the butter onto cling film and shape into a log. Wrap tightly and chill until firm.

4. Grill the prawns

Place the prawns directly onto the hot barbecue in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, turning once, until pink and lightly charred.

5. Add the butter

Transfer the prawns to a serving bowl and immediately add slices of the chilled butter, allowing it to melt over the prawns.

6. Serve

Finish with freshly chopped coriander and serve straight away.

Fresh Dill 

Fresh dill has a light, aromatic flavour that works beautifully with salads, yoghurt dressings and summer dishes.

It grows well outdoors in sunny spots and is easy to harvest regularly before flowering to keep the flavour fresh.
