I love prawns. They cook quickly in so many ways to make a great appetizer, snack, or meal. So, when She Who Must Be Obeyed said she wanted prawn appetizers when I was making some chicken wings in the smoker, I was happy to oblige.
I took 10 deveined and shelled prawns and put them in a marinade of:
- 50 ml (1/4 cup) soy
- 5 ml (1 tsp) lime juice
- 1 ml (1/4 tsp) Sriracha
- 1 clove garlic, minced
I let them marinade in the fridge for 1 to 3 hours.
My Traeger Timberline smoker was already preheated to 425 F (218 C) for the chicken wings so I skewered 5 prawns each onto two bamboo skewers and put the prawns in the smoker. I cooked them for 4 minutes then brushed them with the marinade. I turned them and cooked for 3 minutes more.
You could also do these in a 425 F (218 C) oven for the same times or on a hot barbecue for 2-3 minutes a side.
The Verdict
I love these. Easy and so tasty. Add to that, She Who Must Be Obeyed was pleased and all was well with the world.
