Ingredients

1 tsp Chinese Szechuan seasoning

½ tsp sea salt flakes

¼ tsp cracked black pepper

20 raw king prawns, peeled, leaving tails intact and deveined

20 x 25cm wooden skewers, soaked in warm water

Sliced green spring onions and lime wedges, to serve

 

DRESSING

2 tblsps brown sugar               

2 tblsps lime juice                               

1 tblsp fish sauce                                 

2 tsps chilli garlic sauce                      

1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger

Method

  1. To make dressing, whisk all ingredients in a small jug. Set aside.

  2. Combine seasoning, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add prawns. Toss to coat. Insert a skewer into each prawn, starting at the tail through to the top.

  3. Heat a barbecue grill plate over a high heat until hot. Reduce to medium heat. Add prawns. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked.

  4. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle over dressing. Sprinkle with onions. Serve with lime wedges.

  5. TIP: Skewers are best soaked in warm water for 10 minutes, or soak them overnight, to help prevent them from burning during cooking. Cook prawns just before serving.
