Spicy smokey butterflied prawns

Ingredients

16 raw king prawns, heads removed
150 ml coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped oregano leaves
1 tablespoon dried chilli flakes
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lime halves, to serve

Method

Cut the prawns lengthways, almost right through the flesh and along their entire length (discarding the poo shoots), leaving the shells and tails on.

Mix the coconut oil with the dried and fresh oregano, the chilli, parsley, lemon zest, garlic and some salt and pepper. Brush over the prawns.

Heat the BBQ to hot. Cook the prawns, shell side down, for 3 minutes, then turn over and quickly cook for about 10 seconds. Serve with lime halves.

Serves 2 (note: you'll want a finger bowl)
