This appetizer is a crowd pleaser—shrimp on the barbie with tons of flavor and nice kick of heat.
Soak a handful of wood skewers in water.
- 1T Garam masala
- 1/2t cayenne pepper (to taste)
- 1T pressed garlic (~3 cloves)
- 1T minced ginger (~1 inch)*
- 1t salt
- A few T olive oil (enough for the above to have a light paste consistency
- 1kg/2lbs fresh prawns, peeled, tail-on, deveined and butterflied**
*Use a spoon to peel ginger, it works marvelously.
**Butterflying just creates more surface area for the marinade to get into.
Mix everything, let marinate for 2 hours in refrigerator. Put onto skewers and throw on a hot BBQ. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side..
Garnish with minced cilantro/coriander leaves and fresh lime juice. Serve hot.
