2. Lay prawns out flesh side up on a tray. Rub in lime rind, salt flakes and black pepper. Squeeze lime juice over prawns and liberally drizzle olive oil over meat. Leave to marinate for awhile.

3. Heat up a barbie till flaming hot. Barbecue prawns shell side down till flesh has just turned from transluscent to opaque. Flip over to char flesh then remove. Sometime I drizzle over the leftover olive oil marinade so the flames shoot up, charring the flesh quicker. Alternatively you could use a cast iron chargrill pan on a kitchen stove.

4. Garnish with chopped coriander. Serve while still piping hot.
