Ingredients

Instructions
  1. Prepare the marinade by mixing the finely chopped garlic, smoked paprika, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl.
  2. Pat the prawns dry with paper towels, put them in the marinade, and let rest for 8–10 minutes (no longer to avoid 'cooking' the prawns in the acid).
  3. Prepare a very hot grill or pan. Drain the prawns slightly then sear for 1.5–2 minutes per side over high heat until well colored; avoid overcooking to keep them juicy.
  4. While cooking, prepare a small emulsion by mixing 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of lemon juice, season.
  5. Serve the prawns immediately drizzled with the emulsion, with lemon wedges on the side.

Variants
  • Add chili for a spicy version.

Tips
  • Do not overcook the prawns to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
FAQ
