Peel & Eat Barbecue Prawns

Keeping the shells on shrimp helps to keep them moist and heightens their flavor during grilling.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) smoky barbecue rub
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) louisiana hot sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 16 uncooked shell-on shrimp (13-15 per pound), deveined (see cook's tip)
  • 4 ears fresh corn, husks and silk removed, or 3 cups (750 ml) frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • ½ medium red bell pepper
  • 2 green onions with tops (about ½ cup/125 ml sliced)
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) prepared coleslaw dressing

Directions:

  • Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. For shrimp, combine rub, oil, hot sauce and garlic pressed with Garlic Press in a mixing bowl. Add shrimp; toss to coat and refrigerate until ready to grill.
  • For relish, cut off ends of ears of corn, creating a flat base. Stand upright on cutting board and remove kernels. Dice bell pepper and slice green onions. Combine corn, bell pepper, green onions and coleslaw dressing in a mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Brush the Large Grill Pan with oil. Place the shrimp in an even layer in the pan.
  • Place pan on the grill and cook, covered, for 5-6 minutes or until shells are blackened and shrimp are opaque throughout. Serve the shrimp with the relish.
