Instructions
- Preheat barbeque or chargrill pan.
- In a mortar and pestle, crush oregano leaves with some coarse salt until you have a paste-like consistency then add olive oil, a pinch of smoked paprika, and lemon juice stir until it emulsifies. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Butterfly the prawns, using scissors, cut the underside of the prawn, and its head in half. Then run a sharp knife through where you made the cut with the scissors, making sure not to cut through the shell.
- Drizzle olive oil onto the flesh of the prawns. Place prawns flesh side down, pressing down with a weight like a pan or a tray to prevent them from curling. Cook for 2-3 minutes then flip onto their shell side to cook for a further few 3-4 minutes. Once prawns are cooked, transfer to a plate and drizzle oregano dressing on top.
Easy Swap: For something a little more gourmet swap the prawns with moreton bay bugs or even lobster
