Brazilian-style grilled prawns with a raw spring onion sauce: quick to make, with cumin, garlic and vinegar cutting through the sweet, charred shellfish.
Camarao grelhado is grilled prawns at their simplest and best: skewered, cooked fast, and brushed with a raw, lively sauce of spring onion, garlic and cumin. The sauce goes on raw, so it keeps its punch, and the whole thing is ready in minutes. Ideal for the barbecue or a quick weeknight plate.

Preparation
- Make the sauce by combining the garlic, spring onions, cumin, salt, vinegar and water and grinding to a paste.
- Thread the prawns onto skewers and brush with the sauce.
- Grill until they lose their translucent colour, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Serve with extra sauce on the side.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Watch the prawns closely. A couple of minutes a side until they turn opaque is all they need to stay juicy.
- Brush the sauce on as they cook so it catches and chars a little against the heat.
- Hold back some of the sauce to spoon over raw at the table, for that fresh, sharp finish.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them first so they do not catch fire on the grill.
Frequently Asked Questions

They turn pink and opaque and curl into a loose C. If they curl into a tight O, they have gone too far.
Yes. Sear them in a hot pan or run them under the grill for the same quick result.
