A delicious combination of fresh, exotic flavours
Serves 4
Ready in 25 minutes
Plus marinating time
Ingredients
- 2 x 125g packs raw tiger prawns,
- 100ml coconut milk
- Juice ½ lime
- Handful of fresh coriander, chopped
- 8 stalks lemongrass
- Sweet chilli dipping sauce and lime wedges, to serve
- Fresh coriander sprigs to garnish
Method
1 Using a skewer, pierce holes through all the prawns, and wiggle around to make the hole quite large. Remove the skewer, and put the prawns in a shallow non-metallic container.
2 Mix the coconut milk, lime juice and coriander together and season. Pour over the prawns and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature or for longer in the fridge.
3 Cut and peel away some of the tougher outer leaves of the lemongrass stalks until they are thin enough to push through the holes in the prawns.
4 Divide the prawns between the lemongrass stalks (if you can’t find lemongrass, cook on wooden skewers). Cook on a gentle barbecue for about 5 minutes, turning and brushing with leftover marinade, until pink and cooked through. Serve with dipping sauce and lime wedges.
