Heavy Metal Prawns

If you want prawns that actually hit, this is it.

Smoky, spicy and loaded with flavour, these Heavy Metal Prawns are built for the BBQ. The secret is Heavy Metal Beast — a crunchy chilli oil that brings heat, texture and depth in one hit. Simple ingredients. Big flavour. No messing around.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

Prawns don't need much — but they do need flavour. That's where Heavy Metal Beast does the heavy lifting. You get chilli heat, garlic, spice and crunch, all coating the prawns and caramelising on the grill.

Paired with soy and lemon, it balances salty, spicy and fresh.

👉 High heat + bold oil = serious BBQ flavour.
