Greek-style Grilled Prawn Skewers
- Pat prawn skewers dry with paper towel and set on a wide plate. Combine olive oil, juice, zest, oregano, garlic and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Brush some of this mixture on both sides of each prawn skewer. Let prawns marinate 20 minutes.
- Heat your barbecue or indoor grill to medium-high. Set on the prawn skewers and brush them with any oil mixture left on the plate. Grill skewers 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until hot, in the case of cooked prawn skewers, or cooked through, in the case of the raw ones.
- Set prawn skewers on individual serving plates or a platter, garnish with lemon slices and parsley sprigs, and serve with a bowl of tzatziki, for dipping.
Note: Tubs of tzatziki are sold in our Deli Department.
Options: This recipe could be served as an appetizer that yields 8 servings, one prawn skewer per person. This recipe could also be served as a main-course that yields 4 servings, two prawn skewers per person. If you serve it as main-course, beyond the tzatziki, you could also accompany the prawns with rice and the Greek salad and pita bread sold in our Deli Department.
