Ingredients

  • 16 large raw prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp clear honey
  • 2 limes
  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh coriander
  • Pinch of chilli flakes

Method: How to make sweet-and-sour prawns

1. Soak 4 bamboo or wooden skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes.

Tip

You could cook these under a medium-hot grill for 8-10 minutes, turning once. Serve with a tomato salad.

2. Meanwhile, rinse the prawns and pat dry on kitchen paper. Put into a bowl and set aside. Mix the olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, honey, the zest and juice of 1 lime, coriander, chilli and seasoning. Pour it over the prawns and toss well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes.

3. Cut the other lime into quarters. Thread 4 prawns and 1 lime wedge onto each skewer. Barbecue directly over a medium heat source for 2-3 minutes, turning halfway and brushing with any remaining marinade, until pink and tender.
