Helpful tips while cooking
AI-assisted notes grounded in this recipe's ingredients, timings, and method—not additional creator instructions.
Process herbs first
Pulse the chillies, garlic, Thai basil, coriander, spring onions, lime zest, lime juice, ground coriander, and salt in the food processor before adding butter.
Grill shell‑side down first
Place each prawn shell‑side down on the hot BBQ until charred and mostly cooked before flipping.
Reserve butter for serving
