    Prawns marinaded in lemon, cooked on the BBQ and served with a mint pesto make a delicious summer's day BBQ dish. 

    BBQ season is finally here in our house!  The prawns in our supermarket are often the size of a small fist and are a regular on our bbq.   This dish has a lemon marinade and the mint pesto really compliments this.   I cook this on the BBQ, but you could do this on the stove via a griddle pan/frying pan too.    I think the mint pesto would be lovely with roasted/grilled veggies too.  Marinade, cook, eat and enjoy!  

     

    prawns and lemon

    Large prawns are not a necessity for this recipe and you could happily make it with more smaller prawns.  If you are using smaller prawns then you may want to put them on a skewer to stop the prawns falling through the BBQ grill.  If that happens in our house, the Chief Taster will let out a scream so loud, it can be heard streets away!
