This vibrant grilled prawns with courgette and tomatoes dish is a wonderful choice for a light yet satisfying high-protein lunch or dinner. The combination of succulent jumbo prawns and charred summer vegetables captures the essence of Mediterranean outdoor cooking. By using a grill basket, the cherry tomatoes and courgettes soften and caramelise beautifully without falling through the grates, creating a natural sauce that coats the seafood in savoury, herbal flavours.
Perfect for those seeking a nutritious, low-effort meal, this recipe relies on fresh ingredients and simple seasoning. The addition of crumbled feta adds a tangy richness that balances the sweetness of the roasted tomatoes. Serve these skewers with toasted pitta bread to soak up the delicious juices for a balanced, homemade feast that feels effortlessly sophisticated.
