Recipe Summary
A Valentine’s Day special recipe to share between two!
Method:
Start off by putting two prawns through a skewer, so they form a heart shape.
We melted the butter gently in the microwave, for a few seconds, and then added some of the chopped chili. We didn’t want to make the dish too spicy, but you are welcome to add as much heat as you like. Then, we chopped up the parsley and added it to the melted butter. We crushed the garlic cloves and added them and a little squeeze of lemon to the butter mix, stirring well to make a tasty sauce. We seasoned lightly.
We then poured the sauce mix over the prawns and left to marinade for a few minutes.
We then heated up a cast iron grill to cook the prawn skewers on, for around 4 minutes on each side. You can use a frying pan or other griddle surface, or even cook under the grill.
Serve the skewers on a bed of salad, with the slices of bread, and share with good company!
