How do you make grilled king prawns at home? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Defrost the shrimp at room temperature or in the fridge without removing from the bag. If cooking over an open fire is supposed, it is better to take completely raw shrimp of natural gray color and, if possible, the same large size.

Shrimp in a pan grill can be cooked without cleaning the shell, you only need to rinse them in water first. Dry on a paper towel.

Wash the thawed shrimp under running water, remove the head, clean the shell, leaving the tail. After that, cut them on the back and remove the dark intestinal vein (it will give mustard). Dry the shrimp.

How do I make a marinade for grilled royal shrimp? Peel the garlic, grind through the press and place in a bowl. Stir in the crushed rosemary and thyme. I grind everything in a mortar, adding a little salt.

Put half of the grated aromatic gruel on the bottom of a wide container, add 6 tbsp. oil, mix everything well. Then lay the shrimp in a shell, preferably in one layer. Just a little salt and sprinkle a little on top with dry spices for fish. Gently turn the shrimp over, and repeat the process with the spices. Leave to marinate for 20 minutes.

In another container, mix the second part of the mush with the vegetable oil and put the peeled shrimp into it, also slightly salt them and sprinkle with dry spices on both sides. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes.

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. First, lay out the peeled shrimp (they marinate faster), fry them for 1. 5-2 minutes on each side. You can lay it out either separately or by putting it on skewers. Ready-made shrimp lose transparency and turn golden orange, and become almost half the original size. Remove the finished king prawns from the pan.

Then start frying the shrimps in the shell. Fry for 3-4 minutes each side, until bright orange. If you cook longer, then the meat will become rubber and tough. When roasting on an open fire, on a barbecue, we also cook, just put it on a grill. Put the finished royal shrimp peeled and in a shell on the dish, decorating with herbs at will. Enjoy your meal!
