Garlic Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Aperçu
South African Garlic Grilled Shrimp Skewers are a quick, crowd-pleasing braai dish of large prawns threaded onto skewers, brushed generously with garlic and herb butter, and grilled over high heat until charred at the edges and just cooked through. They are everything a braai starter should be: fast, bold, fragrant, and gone within minutes of leaving the grill. The garlic butter is the defining element. Made from softened butter, fresh garlic, lemon juice, and herbs such as parsley and chilli flakes, it melts into the prawns as they cook, basting them from the inside and creating a sauce that pools at the base of each skewer ready for mopping with bread.
Note de Patrimoine AFN
Grilled seafood on the South African braai reflects the country's long coastline and the tradition of incorporating fresh Atlantic and Indian Ocean seafood into the outdoor cooking culture. Prawn and shrimp preparations became popular in South African coastal cooking in the 20th century as commercial fishing developed along both coasts, and the garlic butter treatment is a Cape Malay and coastal influence on the broader braai tradition.
