Barbecued Butterflied Scampi

This is one of my favourite BBQ dishes. If you can’t find scampi use large green prawns. So simple & so delicious…

24 scampi
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
ground pepper
coriander, finely chopped

Split the scampi lengthwise through the centre & devein. Arrange cut side up in a shallow dish. Mix oil, garlic, pepper & coriander together in a small bowl, stir well. Drizzle over scampi. Can be left for several hours to marinate. Preheat barbecue to high. Place scampi cut side up on hot plate & spoon over extra marinade. Cook for approximately 5 minutes or until flesh turns white. Remove from heat & arrange on a large platter with wedges of lemon.
