Homemade: Grilled Prawns

Dad's office
Mutiara Blambangan Permai
Banyuwangi

I wrote this in honor of my Dad. He's a great cook and I learned a LOT from him since I was little. He introduced me to the world of cooking.

When my sisters joined me in Banyuwangi, I asked him to take me to a good seafood restaurant because I wanted to eat grilled prawns. He told me that he could grill prawns better than any restaurants in Banyuwangi. Oh yeah, I actually believed him. :)
So he had his way, told his workers to get the homemade grill ready and directed them to make the marinating sauce.
The sauce was simple, as he said it. It was made of sweet and spicy chili sauce, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and spices (OK I forgot what the spices were).
The prawns were HUGE!

After the preparations were set, he was ready to grill the prawns using homemade grill (He had it made long ago). The fire was hot, the prawns were thawed, and the sauce was ready to be used.
Cooking prawns was tricky. If they were cooked too long, the meat became rubbery. My Dad has mastered grilling these prawns, so he got them out right on time.

The prawns were sweet and the sauce complimented them. I could taste the sweetness, the sourness and a little kick of spiciness in them. I did not need any other dipping sauce, because the prawns absorbed the marinate quite well and they were moist and tender.
He was right (again), he cooked better than any restaurants in the area.
I was like a kid again, eating prawns like a mad-woman. :)

To my Daddy, you truly are the BBQ Master! *hugs and kisses*
