How to make Chilli Garlic Butter Prawns

Marinate the Prawns: Toss the prawns with Shemin’s Curry Paste, juice of one lemon and a pinch of salt. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes while your BBQ heats up.
Make the Garlic Butter: In a small pan, melt the butter with crushed garlic and sliced chilli until fragrant (do not burn).
Grill the Prawns: Skewer the prawns or place them in a BBQ basket. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and lightly charred.
Finish & Serve: Brush the prawns generously with the garlic butter as they cook. Sprinkle with fresh coriander before serving.

Tips

Tips:

Try Different Pastes – Use Shemin’s Goan or Seafood Paste for a lighter, coastal flavour or Massaman Paste for a warm aromatic twist. Use less curry paste if you don’t want it to come out too strong. r
Make it a Meal – Serve with warm tortillas and slaw for BBQ prawn tacos.
Add a Fresh Hit – Serve with lime wedges and a mango salsa on the side.
Batch Friendly – Skewer in advance and brush with butter on the BBQ for effortless entertaining.
