Short, simple, and absolutely gorgeous! I had them with udon noodles tossed in soy sauce, and had my toes curling in delight by the middle of the meal! 
Ingredients
* 4 tablespoons olive oil
* 4 tablespoons lemon juice
* 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
* 1 tablespoon minced garlic
* freshly ground black pepper to taste
* crushed chillies to taste (optional)
* 700g (1.5 lb) fresh king prawns, peeled and deveined
Method
1. In a large, glass bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic and black pepper. Season with crushed chillies, if desired. Add prawns, and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat barbecue for high heat. Thread prawns onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard any remaining marinade.
3. Lightly oil cooking grate. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque.
I used a smaller portion than the above, and only had dried parsley, thus:
For 1/2lb (220g) prawns:
* 4 dessertspoons olive oil
* 4 dessertspoons lemon juice
* 1 teaspoon dried parsley
* 1 clove garlic (minced)
* freshly ground black pepper to taste

* 220g (0.5 lb) fresh king prawns, peeled and deveined
