These Garlic Lime Mojo Grilled Prawns are bright, fresh and full of citrus flavour. Miami Mojo seasoning combines garlic, herbs and citrus notes that work beautifully with seafood.
They cook quickly on the BBQ or grill, making them perfect for summer cooking, light dinners or as a flavourful starter. The result is juicy prawns with a slightly charred edge and vibrant citrus aroma.
Ingredients
- 400g large raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp Miami Mojo seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- Juice of 1 lime
Optional
- Fresh coriander
- Lime wedges for serving
Directions
Preparation: Marinate the Prawns
Place the prawns in a bowl.
Add olive oil, Miami Mojo seasoning, grated garlic and lime juice. Toss gently until the prawns are evenly coated.
- Allow to marinate for 10–15 minutes while the grill heats.
Cook: BBQ Method
- Preheat the BBQ to medium-high heat.
Thread the prawns onto skewers or place directly on the grill.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the prawns turn pink and slightly charred.
Cook: Kitchen Grill or Pan
- Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the prawns for 2–3 minutes per side until fully cooked.
What to Look for at the Finish
The prawns should be pink and opaque throughout.
They should have light char marks and a slight caramelised edge.
Be careful not to overcook, as prawns become tough quickly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve immediately with lime wedges and fresh coriander. These prawns pair well with rice, grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
