Summer Grilling with Weber's Portable Charcoal Grill - Skewer Grilled Prawns & Mushrooms

I fired up my grill for this Summer, started with grilling some Prawns/Shrimp and mushrooms.I have Weber's portable Charcoal Grill. I used charcoal briquettes and few dried coconut shells for heat, coconut shells enhanced smokey flavor. I marinated shrimp and mushrooms with salt, red chili power, turmeric and grilled them on Skewers. Enjoy following pictures captured while grilling...Happy Grilling!!

Ingredients & Grilling accessories :-

• 1 Pound prawns cleaned and deveined. Keep tails on.
• 15-20 white button mushrooms - make cross shape cut on top.
• Sea Salt+ Chili power + turmeric for marination.
• 2 coconut shells -( 4 half )
• 15 - 20 charcoal Briquettes
• Charcoal lighter fluid
• Oil spray
• Metal or Bamboo skewers
  

Grilling Method :-

1. Set charcoal briquettes and coconut shell at the bottom of the grill - pour little charcoal lighter fluid and lit the fire. It will take around 10-15 minutes to get red fiery glow.
2. Marinate Shrimp and Mushroom with salt,chili power and turmeric. Insert in skewers and grill for 10-12 minutes by turning sides few times. I used stones at the edge of grill and placed skewers on the stone , this created 2-3 inches of extra distance from the grill plate. Spray oil few times on skewers to ignite fire.
3. Garnish with onions,cilantro, lemon and enjoy as appetizer.
