This vibrant seafood dish features jumbo prawns marinated in aromatic turmeric and fish sauce before being charred to perfection on the grill. The combination of smoky, blackened shells and succulent meat makes these grilled prawns an impressive yet simple choice for summer entertaining. By keeping the shells on during cooking, the prawns remain incredibly juicy and absorb the deep, savoury notes of the marinade, offering a truly authentic taste of Southeast Asian coastal cooking.
As a naturally dairy-free option, this recipe relies on a punchy dipping sauce made from fresh lime, ginger and red chillies to provide a zesty balance to the prawns. It functions beautifully as a light starter or as part of a larger barbecue spread. For the best results, serve them piping hot with plenty of napkins, allowing guests to peel the prawns themselves and dip them liberally into the spicy, fragrant dressing.

2 teaspoons turmeric
30 coriander sprigs, chopped

60ml fresh lime juice

How to make Grilled Prawns with Chilli, Coriander, and Lime
Combine prawns, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons oil, and turmeric in a large bowl; toss to coat. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Purée 60ml fish sauce, 2 tablespoons oil, coriander, and remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor until a coarse mixture forms; transfer dipping sauce to a small bowl and set aside.
