King prawns and the Big Green Egg are the best of friends. You can either pan-fry or grill them in your kamado, or incorporate them in a delicious dish such as paella  or a deluxe platter of fruits de mer . Planning to prepare some delicious king prawn skewers such as these surf ‘n’ turf ones with king prawns and bacon? Use the Cast Iron Grid, the ideal Big Green Egg accessory for grilling all your skewers. It will make turning and lifting the skewers easy-peasy as the skewers are protected from the heat of the charcoal.

For the dip, pick the leaves of the coriander and finely chop. Put the crème fraîche in a bowl, sprinkle with chilli sauce and the coriander.

Brush the bacon-wrapped king prawns with the garlic oil. Place the skewers on the Cast Iron Grid and close the lid of the EGG. Grill the skewers for approx. 3 minutes.

Turn the SKEWERS and grill the bacon-wrapped king prawns for another 3 minutes.

Remove the skewers from the Big Green Egg and serve with the chilli dip.
