Ease of Preparation: Easy

Yields: 6 servings

 

Ingredients

1½ kg of uncooked king prawns, veined and shelled with tails intact

5 small pieces of fresh ginger

225g can pineapple, crushed

1 mango, cubed

 

Marinade

Reserved pineapple juice

¼ cup of vegetable oil (60ml)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (15ml)

1 teaspoon of fresh cilantro, chopped (5ml)

½ teaspoon of chili flakes (2.5ml)

 

Method

Cut ginger into thin sticks. Drain the crushed pineapple into a bowl, reserving the syrup for the marinade.  Cut mango into cubes.  Place pineapple, mango and ginger into a large seal-able plastic bag. Add the shrimp. Toss to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate overnight up to 24 hours.

In a separate bowl combine the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, parsley, cilantro and chili flakes. Cover the dish and place it in the fridge overnight.

Preheat the grill to high heat – approximately 425°F (5 steamboats). Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for approximately 4 minutes per side, basting with the marinade often.
