Barbecued prawns and asparagus with lemon pepper mayonnaise
Updated ,first published
Despite Paul Hogan's best efforts, few of us actually cook prawns on the barbecue. And more's the pity, because done that way they're delicious.
Ingredients
1kg large prawns in shells
1 bunch asparagus
2 tbsp olive oil
lemon wedges, to serve
Lemon pepper mayonnaise
juice and grated rind of ½ lemon
300g (1 cup) thick mayonnaise
¼ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground black pepper
Method
1. Heat a barbecue to very hot. Remove the intestinal tract from the prawns if needed by cutting through the back of the shell with a sharp knife and removing the intestine. Toss prawns and asparagus in olive oil. Season with salt.
2. For the lemon pepper mayonnaise, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before using.
3. Put the prawns on the barbecue first and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through. Add the asparagus and cook for just a minute until charred but still crisp. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with lemon wedges and the lemon pepper mayonnaise.
