In a metal bowl, combine the prawns with olive oil, chopped garlic, dried thyme, dried chili flakes, and a little salt. Toss to coat evenly.

Arrange the seasoned prawns in a metal grilling basket.

Place the grilling basket over the burning fire and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, flipping halfway through.

While grilling, slice the lemon. Squeeze some lemon juice over the prawns as they cook.
