Despite Paul Hogan's best efforts, few of us actually cook prawns on the barbecue. And more's the pity, because done that way they're delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1kg large prawns in shells

  • 1 bunch asparagus

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • lemon wedges, to serve

Lemon pepper mayonnaise

  • juice and grated rind of ½ lemon

  • 300g (1 cup) thick mayonnaise

  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Method

  1. 1. Heat a barbecue to very hot. Remove the intestinal tract from the prawns if needed by cutting through the back of the shell with a sharp knife and removing the intestine. Toss prawns and asparagus in olive oil. Season with salt.

    2. For the lemon pepper mayonnaise, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before using.

    3. Put the prawns on the barbecue first and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through. Add the asparagus and cook for just a minute until charred but still crisp. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with lemon wedges and the lemon pepper mayonnaise.
