Wasn’t sure about the olive oil, but it actually made them juicy! Yum!
yummy!
Looks good, but I wonder if the prawns can be too rubbery if grilled too long?
This sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Meh. They’re shrimps not prawns! What’s up with that?
I think they’re the same thing! Just different names based on where you are. Don’t let it ruin the recipe, it’s still gonna be delish! 😋
It says to grill them, but I don’t have a grill. Can I bake them instead?
It was ok, I don’t usually like prawns but this marinade was decent. My husband loved it tho.
Prawns ain’t for everyone! But the marinade sounds good. Did you try it with other meats?
Glad your husband loved it! Maybe you could try a different seafood dish next time? Sometimes it just takes the right flavor!
Just grilled em for my BBQ. They taste like they came from a restaurant! Highly recommend.
Are you sure they tasted that good? I tried and mine were kinda bland.
I made these too and they were amazing! Best prawns I’ve ever had.
I think I had the wrong type of prawns. They came out kinda chewy. But the seasoning was good!
Easy to make and delicious. Took me back to my vacation in Greece! 🌞
I can’t believe how simple this was! Made it last night and it was a hit with my family. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Looks good, but i dont think prawn is safe to eat if not cooked well. Better be careful with that.
Tastes good, but took too long to marinate. I’m too impatient for that.
I used shrimp instead and it was ok but not as good as I expected. The prawns must be the key!
Grilled prawns? Yuck! I prefer mine boiled with cocktail sauce. This is weird.
Grilled prawns are so much tastier! It’s all about the flavor! Give them a try, you might change your mind.
Prawns should be cooked longer? Oops, mine were rubbery. Bad experience!
I don’t have a grill. Can I bake these in the oven? Anyone tried that?
These grilled prawns are absolutely delicious! The marinade really brings out the flavor. Definitely a 5-star recipe!
I totally agree! I made them last night and my family loved them too! 🤤
I don’t understand why you need cumin? It was too strong for my taste.
I get what you’re saying! Cumin can be a bit much for some people. You could try using less or even leaving it out next time.
These were okay, but I expected more, maybe less cumin next time?
I just made this and it was delish! Good marinade, perfect with lemon!
Sounds amazing! I love prawns. I’ll try this sauce for sure.
I followed the recipe but it turned out kinda bland. Maybe I need to add more spices?
I think more spices would definitely help! Maybe try some chili flakes for a kick? 🥵
These prawns were a hit at my BBQ! So flavorful!
I LOVE prawns! Best recipe ever. 10/10 recommend!
Will make this again for sure!
I’m glad to hear that! These prawns are amazing! 😊
Really? I think they were too salty for my taste. Gonna stick to chicken next time.
Not a fan. I don’t think I did it right…. I burned some 😩
Don’t worry! Burning happens to the best of us. Just keep practicing, and you’ll get it right!
You forgot the feta cheese! It’s not truly Greek without it!!
So quick to make! Perfect for weeknight dinners.
Yum! 😍
Easy recipe but didn’t have paprika, used chili powder instead. Still good!
Very easy recipe! Even my husband who doesn’t cook liked it. Thanks!
Absolutely loved this recipe! The prawns were so juicy and flavorful. Will make it again for sure!
I dunno… I tried this recipe and my prawns ended up tasting kinda bland. Maybe I missed something?
So glad you loved it! The marinade really makes a difference. Do you eat it with rice or something?
Too salty for my taste. Made it twice and both times were salty. I suggest to cut back on the salt if you don’t like it that way.
I thought it was perfect! Maybe try using less salt next time to suit your taste. 🤷♂️
Made these for my family. They all were like ‘meh’. I guess we prefer fish.
Absolutely loved this recipe! The prawns were so flavorful. Will make again!
Best prawns I’ve ever had! My family couldn’t get enough. Thanks for this!
I was skeptical about using cumin with prawns but it works surprisingly well. Will make again!
Cumin with prawns? Who woulda thought! I gotta try this now.
