8 Smoked Paprika Lime Marinated Porgie and Prawns

Although this seafood has a nice marinade on it the real booster of the flavor is the Lebanese garlic sauce. Make sure to only grill the prawn and fish for a few min or it will dry out. Fish does not need that much cooking as people think Fish this flat and the prawns on a 500 degree grill should be done in 3-4min tops.

one cup vegatable oil
pinch of kosher salt and pepper
a little water to thin it out

Directions

Start by making the Lebanese Garlic sauce you can find that recipe here : /archives/v1/chef/recipes/lebanese-garlic-sauce/

Now put all the ingredients together for the marinade and pour over the fish and prawns making sure they are completely covered. Marinade for about 20 min tops or the lime juice will start to cook the fish and prawns.

Take to the grill and starting flesh side down with the fish followed by the prawns on the hottest part of the grill. Lid on and check in about 3 min the prawns should be starting to char so you can turn them over and also carefully turn the fish over as well. Cook for one more min then take off and let rest and drizzle a little bit of olive oil on them.

Plate and serve with the Lebanese garlic sauce it is truly a powerful flavor between the smoky flavor of the marinade and the garlic sauce. This dish NOT recommended to make for a first date
