Experimental Cookery 2026: Barbecued Prawns with Harissa Mayonnaisse

This was another entry from Tom Kerridge's "The BBQ Book". It's found in his chapter in starters, but we paired these with some crusty bread and a salad, and had it as our dinner - after a recent holiday we're both leaning towards lighter dinners for the time being.

This is quick and easy to put together, but depending on circumstances may require some preparation ahead - the recipe calls for fresh prawns in their shells, while I had frozen without, so I put the prawns in to marinade (in the fridge) in the morning, rather than the suggested 40 minutes.

Otherwise, it was dead quick - 10 mins on the BBQ and we're done.

The end result was fantastic - we'd definitely have these again. Though perhaps as a starter for another meal. Which is useful, as we're shortly going to have plenty of opportunity for BBQing.
