Make sure they\u2019re thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and let them marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. If you\u2019re short on time, even a quick 10 minutes will do. The longer they sit, the more flavorful they become, so if you can, let them soak in the goodness for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 4: Preheat the Grill <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get your grill hot and ready. If you\u2019re using a grill pan, heat it up over medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to give those prawns a nice sear without making them overcook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 5: Grill the Prawns <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place your marinated tandoori tiger prawns on the grill. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a gorgeous shade of charred pink and are cooked through. They should have lovely grill marks, like they\u2019ve just been sunbathing on a tropical beach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 6: Garnish and Serve <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transfer your grilled tandoori shrimp to a platter. Sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh burst of flavour. Serve them hot with a side of mint chutney or a cool cucumber salad.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Tips and Tricks<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Marinating Time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: For the best results, marinate your <\/span>tandoori king prawns<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> overnight. This allows the flavours to really seep in and makes them super tender.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cooking Method<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If you don\u2019t have a grill, you can use an oven. Preheat it to 200\u00b0C (390\u00b0F) and bake your prawns for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Extra Spice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If you\u2019re a spice lover, try adding a bit of extra chilli powder or fresh chopped green chilies to the marinade. Just remember to have a glass of milk handy!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And there you have it\u2014a simple, yet spectacular recipe for <\/span>tandoori king prawns<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that will make your taste buds do a happy dance. Serve these at your next dinner party or just as a special treat for yourself. Either way, they\u2019re guaranteed to be a hit.
