Grilled Prawns with Chilli

Recipe:
To devein the prawns, use kitchen scissors to snip along the backbone of the prawn. Pull out the alimentary canal and discard. This also allows the chilli to permeate the prawn for all-over flavour.

In a small saucepan over a low heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil. Stir through the chopped chillies and remove the pan from the heat. Add in the garlic and leave the butter to sit for 5 minutes. Season the butter with salt to taste.

Arrange the cleaned prawns in a large ovenproof dish and pour over the chilli garlic butter. If braaing the prawns, cook over medium heat coals for about 2 minutes each side. If cooking the prawns in the oven, place them in the dish under a hot (220°) grill for 2-3 minutes each side. Serve with fresh crusty bread and a green salad.
