Ingredients
8 raw or cooked prawn skewers
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
1 tsp dried oregano
1 large garlic clove, minced
pinch or 2 red pepper flakes
tzatziki, to taste (see Note)
lemon slices and parsley sprigs, for garnish
Directions
  1. 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.

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. 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.
