4 garlic cloves crushed (about 1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon harissa paste

Method

Butterfly the prawns with a serrated knife and remove the vein.
In a bowl, mix all marinade ingredients. Add the prawns and coat well.
Preheat the barbecue on high heat. Place the prawns on the grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, turning once. Baste with the reserved marinade as they cook. They should turn pink and just cook through.
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and chopped coriander.
