Ingredients

• 500 grams Prawns (shrimp), peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 4 tablespoons Barbecue sauce
• 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and barbecue sauce. Whisk until well blended to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the prawns in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the prawns, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. For a deeper flavor, let them marinate for up to 1 hour.

Step 3

Heat a barbecue grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the prawns from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Thread the prawns onto skewers, if desired, for easier handling during grilling.

Step 5

Place the prawns on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the prawns rubbery.

Step 6

While grilling, sprinkle the prawns with sesame seeds for extra flavor and a crunchy texture.

Step 7

Remove the prawns from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh and vibrant finish.

Step 8

Serve the Barbecue Sesame Prawns Shrimp immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a crisp salad.
