In WTP We have made many grilled recipes and some of the most successful are always grilled fish or, as is the case that concerns us now, shellfish, which there are always movies.
We have made grilled Norway lobsters, grilled prawns and all kinds of molluscs, and the result is always perfect and as you are going to see with these grilled prawns —frozen, this time— It takes almost no time to make them.
As in other recipes as simple as this (let’s think of grilled cuttlefish), the only thing we have to keep in mind is to have quality raw material, a very hot iron and then, to taste, a garnish that convinces us.
An appetizer and starter par excellence of Christmas recipes, these prawns will go perfectly with garlic, with white wine, with lemon or sauce, for example this one with garlic and parsley, although you already know that any sauce will do very well.
The most important thing about this recipe is that the prawns are good thawed, drained and dried before cooking them. Once they are like this, we can heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over high heat.
When it is very hot, we put the prawns —two minutes on one side and one minute on the other—, being able to facilitate the task if we put them on a skewer.
Finally, to plate them, we put on a bed of flake salt or coarse salt and they will be ready to eat.

With what to accompany grilled prawns
By the way, the concept shrimp officially does not obey a species of animals, but several that have more similar to prawns than prawns. That said, a vinaigrette, homemade mayonnaise or baked au gratin will do them really good.
