Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the lime juice and zest, the chopped chilli, the crushed garlic and the olive oil.
  2. Finely chop the coriander, parsley and spring onion, then add them to the marinade with the salt and pepper.
  3. Add the prawns, mix well and leave to marinate for 15 minutes in the fridge.
  4. Heat a grill pan or barbecue over high heat. Lay the prawns in a single layer and grill them for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until pink and lightly charred.
  5. Spoon over the leftover marinade just before serving, with the white rice.

Variations and tips

Plancha version. Grill the prawns on a very hot cast-iron plate for a more pronounced smoky flavour.
