Coconut Prawn Skewers

This classical Thai combination of flavours is perfect with the prawns.

Preparation:

  1. Place the spring onions, coconut milk, coriander, oil, lime rind and juice in a non-metallic bowl. Mix well and season to taste with pepper. Add the prawns, turning to coat. Cover with clingfilm and leave to marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
  2. Drain the prawns and reserve the marinade. Thread the prawns on to 8 skewers.
  3. Cook the skewers over medium hot coals, brushing with the reserved marinade and turning frequently, for 8 minutes, or until they have changed colour.
  4. Cook the lemon wedges, skin-side down over medium hot coals, for the last 5 minutes. Serve the prawns immediately, garnished with the hot lemon wedges and coriander sprigs.

Useful tip:

Prawns can be cooked with the shell intatct - especially successful when cooked over a barbeque... more


If you are using wooden skewers soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand. This is necessary to stop skewers from burning and meat from sticking to the skewers.

Really quick to make, and very tasty - recommend with sweet chilli dipping sauce.

Really nice, simple dish. It was easy to make, and is full of flavour, I'm not usually keen on seafood, but this dish definitely altered my perception of it. Also my friends really like it too :D
