The spicy tangy prawns are lovely served by themselves with some grilled lime wedges but I love the flavours of the salsa along with it.. so either way, it's delicious! Cooking time indicated includes marinating time. Ingredients:
20 large prawns, peeled and deveined |
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
salt |
4 tomatoes, seeded and diced |
1 avocado, diced |
3 spring onions, finely chopped |
1 fresh green chilies or 1 red chile, seeded and finely chopped |
1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander |
1 garlic clove, minced |
4 tablespoons lime juice |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. For salsa, combine tomatoes, avocado, spring onion, chilli, coriander, garlic, lime juice and oil in a bowl and season with salt and pepper (you may make this upto 3 hours in advance. Cover tightly with cling film and refrigerate).
2. You will need 4 wooden skewers soaked in water for atleast 20 minutes to stop them from burning.
3. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, paprika, chilli powder, lime juice and salt.
4. Add in the prawns and toss to coat evenly.
5. Thread 5 prawns onto each skewer, cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes (you may marinate the prawns upto 2 hours in advance).
6. Pre-heat indoor grill to medium-hot, or for outdoor grills, medium-hot coals.
7. Grill the prawns until they are pink and the flesh is opaque, about 3 minutes on each side.
8. Serve hot with salsa and/or grilled lime wedges.
