  1. Begin by preheating your grill to a high temperature of around 280°C (550°F). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped chili (if using), lemon zest, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
  3. Add the fresh prawns to the marinade, tossing gently to coat. Allow them to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Place the marinated prawns on the preheated grill and cook for 2-4 minutes per side until they turn pinky-orange and pearly white.
  5. Remove from grill and serve on a platter with wedges of fresh lemon and crusty bread for dipping.
