Ingredients

Servings
  • 300 g large raw prawns, peeled (tails on)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes
  • Squeeze of lemon, to serve
  • Apple or cherry bisquettes

Method

  1. 1

    Toss the prawns with the oil, paprika, garlic, salt and chilli flakes.

  2. 2

    Spread on a perforated tray or skewer them.

  3. 3

    Hot smoke in the Bradley at 120°C (250°F) over apple until pink, opaque and just firm — about 15– (don't overcook).

  4. 4

    Finish with a squeeze of lemon and serve warm.

Notes

  • Prawns cook fast — pull them the moment they turn opaque or they'll go rubbery.
  • Use a mild fruit wood; strong smoke overwhelms shellfish.
