Grilled Butterflied Tiger Prawns

 This scrumptious and healthy dish is perfect as a main dish or as an appetizer and can be served with salad or your favorite starch. Instead of using a skewer, I decided to butterfly the prawns and marinate them for a couple of minutes before grilling. I used oyster sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, fish sauce and lemon juice for marinade. When I was done grilling and my son saw the butterflied grilled prawns, he was happy, because it is going to be easy for him to remove the shell which is his least favorite part when eating shrimps.

Ingredients:

• 12 pieces Tiger Prawns (washed, butterflied and deveined)
  
• 2 tbsp. Soy Sauce
