Garlic Prawns

This is a great easy prawn marinade, they are great on the BBQ, we put them out as appetizers but they can also be a main course. I've also sauteed them with the marinade and used the sauce with pasta or just lapped it up with French bread! ENJOY.

Ingredients

  1. ½ cup olive oil
  2. 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  3. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 lemon, juiced
  5. 1 orange, juiced
  6. 1 teaspoon dried basil, or to taste
  7. 2 tablespoons white wine (optional)
  8. 30 tiger prawns, peeled and deveined

Directions

  1. In a glass dish, mix together the olive oil, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, orange juice, basil and white wine. Add the prawns, and stir to coat. Cover, and let marinate for 1 hour.
  2. Heat an outdoor grill to high heat.
  3. Thread prawns onto skewers. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until pink.
  4. If desired, reserve marinade; transfer to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve with prawns.
