Preparation method

  1. Preheat the BBQ for direct grilling and make sure it has reached a temperature of 190°C.
  2. In a small (cast iron) skillet, heat the butter and fry the chopped red onion and diced chorizo. Fry them while stirring until the onion is glazed and the chorizo is crispy.
  3. Finally, add the chopped tarragon and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set the skillet aside.
  4. Place a prawn on a cutting board with its back facing up. Cut along the length of the belly with a knife so that the prawn "unfolds," but make sure the skin remains attached to the back. Repeat this process with the rest of the prawns.
  5. Brush the open-cut prawns with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with paprika, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Place the prawns flesh side down on the cast iron grill of the BBQ and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the prawns over and grill them for another 2 minutes. The exact grilling time depends on the thickness of the prawns. Make sure they are just off glaze and avoid over grilling unless you prefer a firmer texture.
  7. Remove the prawns from the grill and place them on a platter. Spoon the prepared chorizo topping over the prawns and serve as part of an extensive BBQ tapas assortment or simply with freshly baked bread and aioli.
