When you need a flavorful and quick option for the grill, here’s your answer. Butterflied tiger prawns hang out in a garlic-forward yogurt marinade before getting grilled until bright orange with crispy charred edges. Seeking out large head-on prawns is well worth it, as chef Chintan Pandya recommends savoring the heads and tails for their intense smokiness and crunch. If you can only get cleaned shrimp, that’s okay too—skip the butterflying and grill them on skewers instead so they don’t fall through the grate.
