Bronzed Ozzy Prawns
Tony Iomazzo
Grilled prawns are best grilled shell-on. The reason for
this is simple – the shell is loaded with flavour, especially when it is
browned (bronzed) over the very high heat of the coals. The shells brown
beautifully and flavour the succulent prawn meat inside.
Ingredients:
- 500g shell-on large prawns
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Spicy Dipping Sauce (see below)
Method:
1. Remove the vein from each shrimp by first laying each
shrimp flat on a cutting board and cutting down the back of it. (Cut through
the shell and only slightly into the flesh as the vein is close to the surface.
Do not remove the shell!) Next, remove any visible vein using the point of a
small knife
2. Place the de-veined shrimp in a bowl along with
garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Toss, cover, and place in the fridge for
several hours (beer time) to overnight. This marinating time is necessary to
accentuate the garlic
3. Place the prawns on the grill. Grill until the shell
on one side is browned (about 4 minutes). Turn over and continue grilling until
the prawns are still slightly transparent in the centre
4. Remove from the grill and serve with spicy dipping
sauce

Spicy Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp minced parsley
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp Tabasco (depending on how hot you like
it…)
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. This dipping sauce can
be made one day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until needed.
Just awesome with Coopers Ale... love it!

Garlic Prawns
Tracey Feast
Ingredients:
- Fresh green prawns
- Minced garlic
- Butter
Method:
Place all ingredients in a sealed container for 24 hours,
then cook through on the BBQ for roughly 3-5 minutes. That’s it, I promise you
will be the hit of the party.

Lime Chilli Prawns
Rachael Horn
Mix together:
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Stir well and marinate green prawns in sauce for 15-20
mins (make sure it is kept in fridge while marinating). Cook on heated hot plate
turning only once until prawns are red in colour and firm. Serve with salad and
enjoy.

Barbecued Crayfish
Megan Yann
Split as many raw crayfish as required down the middle and clean if necessary, removing intestine.
Over low heat Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes gently melt some good knobs of butter.
Finely chop two garlic cloves, one large deseeded red chilli and add to the butter, brining only up to the point where the butter is melted and runs freely (it is essential the butter does not get too hot and split!!!).
Over a hot Weber grill with hot Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes place the crayfish shell side down, and immediately begin basting the flesh with the butter mix, using a pastry brush. Continue so that flesh stays moist and until it begins to turn opaque around the edges.
Give the flesh one last good baste and flip the crayfish flesh side down for no more than 1 minute.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately, one portion per person, with a wedge of lemon and a simple rocket, balsamic and shaved parmesan salad.
Season to taste.
I would recommend a pinot grigio or good quality light Verdelho to accompany.
