- In a blender or food processor, combine the orange juice and rind, lime juice and rind, olive oil, garlic and salt. Cover, and purée until smooth.
- Place prawns in a bowl, and pour the orange-lime marinade over them. Let them marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the prawns about 3 minutes per side, in batches if necessary, until opaque. Spoon a little of the marinade in with them for extra flavour while they cook if you like.

I made this recipe exactly as instructed. My family of four decided that the lime flavours are too strong and even bitter. Next time I make this, I will cut way back on the lime zest, and add more orange juice. Hubby said he would have liked more sauce that he could put over the rice I served alongside. Maybe I'll add some crushed pineapple, honey and a sprinkle of toasted coconut before serving to create a sweeter version. This recipe definetly needs some experimenting before you serve it to guests. Nice light recipe, however; and easy to throw together. - 29 Sep 2008
Wow, this didn't turn out well at all--it was very, very strong. Neither my husband or I were able to eat it. To try this recipe, I would recommend using far less garlic. - 29 Sep 2008
I liked this allot. I reduced the marinade on the stove top and used it as a sauce. - 29 Sep 2008
