Tandoori Prawns Recipe: Quick Grilled or BBQ Prawns

Prawns are quick to cook, so they are a good way to get tandoori flavour onto the table fast. The main rule is not to leave them in a heavy marinade for too long or overcook them.

Quick marinade

Mix a small amount of yoghurt, lemon juice and Zouk Tandoori Masala. Toss the prawns through the mixture shortly before cooking.

Grill or barbecue

Thread onto skewers if useful and cook over high heat until the prawns are just cooked through and lightly coloured.

Pan cooking

Use a hot pan and cook quickly in a single layer.

Serving ideas

Serve with lemon, salad, flatbread or rice. For a fuller barbecue spread, pair with the Zouk BBQ Spice Collection.
