Ingredients
- 15 large prawns (raw)
- 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil
- 1 red chilli (seeds removed, or if you like it really hot, you can leave them in)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- juice and zest of half a lemon
- small handful of parsley
- small handful of coriander
- salt and black pepper
- Olive oil spray
- 3 wooden skewers, soaked in water
Method
If your prawns have the shell on, peel the prawns and set aside.
Add the olive oil, chilli, garlic, paprika, juice and zest of half a lemon, parsley, coriander and a little salt and black pepper to a mini blender
and blitz until finely chopped.
I then added this to a mortar and pestle, just to grind down a bit more until I had a paste.
Add the paste to the prawns and mix to evenly coat.
Place the prawns onto the wooden skewers. Preheat a grill pan over a medium high heat and add some olive oil spray.
Then add the skewers to the pan and cook on both sides for a couple of minutes until prawns are cooked through.
These can also be cooked on a barbecue if you prefer.
Serve with your choice of sides. Great with rice, healthy fries, salad or in a healthy tortilla or pitta bread etc
