Who wants to cook inside when the weather person tells you it is going to be 104 degrees?
Current Weather
Certainly not me and I'm sure not many of you want to either. When the temperature is that high do you feel like eating at all? Knowing my family and I will eventually get hungry I look to recipes that can be cooked on the grill that are light and refreshing.
On days like today citrus is what I look to as my flavor profile. It can be in my cocktail, meal, or dessert. Maybe we'll have and all out Citrus Fest of refreshment and appetite fulfillment?
For today, I will share with you a recipe for Grilled Meyer Lemon Prawns. It fills the light requirement with salad greens as opposed to rice, is cooked on the grill and is filled with refreshing citrus satisfaction. Enjoy and keep cool!
