This is darn good! However, i do NOT oil my cooking surfaces be they grill, pan or plate. Siimply brush or spray the food that you are cooking with oil of your choice - you already have oil in the marinade!

Altered ingredient amounts.
I followed the recipe as is,but i didn't have fresh parsley on hand so i used dried italian herbs instead(probably about 1-2 teaspoons) and i also added the zest of 1 lemon.With the garlic,i crushed 2 fresh cloves instead of using the minced garlic in jar.

My partner couldn't get enough of this dish! I made a double batch of the marinade and set aside half to coat the pasta; I then marinated pre-cooked prawns for about 45 minutes. I tossed the prawns and marinade together with wholewheat linguine. The family loved it and partner commented that it was the best prawns & pasta he'd ever had.

A definite favourite!! The marinade is so easy to prepare and can be done ahead of time. Served over linguine with the following sauce: Saute together 100g butter, juice of 1 lemon, 1 T minced garlic, 1 T (or more to taste) dried crushed chillies and a spash of white wine. Simply delicious!!!!!

My family absolutely goes crazy when I make this recipe. I follow the recipe exactly and it turns out incredible. I serve it with pasta that I toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, parmesan, italian herbs and crushed chilli flakes. It is delicious

Thank you for this perfect light summer fare. I served with pasta that was lightly tossed with some of the marinade I kept separate- just added a little fresh lemon and some grated parmesan when served.

I marinated these for over an hour and they came out so flavourful and tender! The best prawns I've ever had! I made a butter garlic sauce and served with linguine with fresh parsley on top. Can't wait to make again! Thank you!
