- 1 Tbsp neutral oil grapeseed, rice bran, or light olive oil
- 1 large pinch Kaffir Lime, Ginger & Chilli Finishing Salt
- fresh lime wedges, to serve kaffir lime or other
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Prawns

Step 2: Fire Up the BBQ
- Heat your barbecue or grill pan to medium-high
- Lay the prawns down in a single layer and grill for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they’re just opaque and lightly charred around the edges.
Step 3: Serve and Sprinkle
- Transfer the prawns to a platter, squeeze over some fresh lime juice, and serve with extra lime wedges and a generous sprinkle of finishing salt on the side. A cheeky little extra pinch never hurt anyone.
- Serving suggestion: Add a quick side of mango salsa or a crisp cucumber salad to round out the meal.
