Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together the oil, the herbs, the zest, salt and pepper, add prawns and toss to coat well.

Let the prawns marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 2 hour or overnight. Stir in the lemon juice, let the mixture stand at room temperature for 30 minutes and drain the prawns in a fine sieve.

Grill the herb-coated prawns on a rack set about 4" over glowing coals for 3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through (alternatively, the prawns may be broiled on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 4" from the heat for 4 minutes on each side). Divide the prawns among 8 plates and serve them with the lemon wedges.
