Ingredients

Grilled Prawns

  • 24 extra large green Australian prawns
  • 100g butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 bunch coriander, finely chopped
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lime wedges to serve

 

Honey Margarita Dressing

  • 90g (¼ cup) Capilano Pure Honey
  • 5 tbsp lime juice
  • Zest 1 lime
  • 1 cup coriander leaves
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  1. In a food processor or blender, combine honey and lime juice. Pulse until combined, then add coriander and process until smooth. On low speed, slowly add olive oil in a steady stream until dressing is emulsified. Add lime zest and stir to combine.
  2. Without peeling the prawns, butterfly them by cutting down from the top leaving the base still attached. Open the prawn, clean out the prawns and set aside.
  3. Mix together softened butter, garlic, coriander, lime zest, salt and pepper until well combined. Spread butter over the prawn meat and place prawns on a tray. Pre-heat a hot grill and cook prawns for 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  4. Serve with honey lime dressing and a brush of warmed Capilano honey.
