Now that we’re nearing the summer, and we may not be able to head overseas on holiday this year, we’re all hoping the weather takes a turn for the better and we can finally unleash the barbeque.
There’s no better way to spend time with friends and family on a summer’s day than getting together for drinks and some good food cooked over the grill.
In this week’s Friday Food Club, the team at Ludo’s Primal Wellness has come up with a recipe that works perfectly at a barbeque – our barbeque grilled prawns with herbie rice salad.
Because we can’t guarantee the weather (it’s Britain, after all), we’ve cooked this recipe in the kitchen and can assure you it works just as well using the grill on your cooker. But if you get the chance, why not cook it al fresco? We hope you enjoy.

3 health benefits of this dish
Prawns are packed full of protein, and are a much healthier source of protein than fattier meats like beef or pork.
Brown rice releases both sugar and carbohydrates slowly, helping energise you throughout the day, and contains high levels of magnesium, which can help make you less vulnerable to heart disease and stroke.
Olive oil is a key ingredient in the mediterranean diet, one of the healthiest in the world, and contains oleic acid, which has been known to reduce inflammation and even have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer.
