Ingredients

400 g Prawns 14oz head on shell on
1 Thai Birds Eye Chilli Pepper
1 Garlic Clove
1 Lemon
2 tablespoon Oil
2-3 Pinches Salt (be generous)

Instructions

Dice the chilli and garlic as finely as you can.
Mix together the garlic, chilli, salt and oil and coat the shrimp.
Place the prawns over the direct heat of the coals and cook until pink.
Size 8-10 prawns take 7-10 minutes.
Halfway through the cooking time, squeeze over half of the lemon juice, then flip.
Cook for the remaining time and squeeze over the remaining juice just before serving.

Notes

If using frozen prawns, defrost as quickly as you can, stick them in a colander and allow cold water to run over them. They should defrost in 10-15 minutes; this helps maintain the texture of the meat.
