Lime & Garlic Prawn & Veggie Skewers
Equipment
- wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 10 minutes OR metal skewers
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, de-shelled and de-veined
- 1 zucchini, cut into into 1/4 inch thickness
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion, quartered
Marinade
- 2 limes zested, and juiced
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons chopped coriander
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons pure honey
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by whisking all the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside 1/4 of the marinade which we will use in glazing. Then to the rest of the marinade, add the de-shelled and de-veined prawns and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare your veggies. Cut the onions and zucchinis in the size that you prefer. Ideally, similar size as to the prawn so it cooks evenly.
- Take your soaked skewers and start first with sticking a piece of zucchini, then prawn, onion, prawn, zucchini, onion, and cherry tomato. Stack the skewers in a flat plate or baking dish.
- Heat a grill pan and spray some oil. Add your skewers making sure they're not too crowded so you get a good char. Using a pastry brush, glaze some marinade over the skewers. Cook each side about 2-4 minutes, watching closely so as not to overcook the prawns.
- To serve, squeeze more lime and add chopped coriander over the skewers.
