Fiery Prawn Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the garlic, chilli, parsley, both types of paprika and olive oil together. Stir through the prawns and season well. Cover, put in the fridge and leave to marinate for at least 30 mins before threading on to skewers, interspersing them with a few of the peppers, so that each skewer has about 4-5 prawns.
• Light a barbecue and leave until the flames die down and the coals turn white with glowing centres. Grill the skewers, or cook in a griddle pan over a high heat for 3-4 mins until pink and opaque. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon and plenty of saffron aïoli.

Steps:

• Alternate prawns and tomatoes onto 8 skewers until all are filled. Lay the skewers in a shallow tray or baking dish. Mix the Fiery guava or sweet chilli dipping sauce with the lime juice and thyme leaves, then pour over the skewers. Leave in the fridge to marinate for 30 mins.
• Place the prawns onto a baking tray and pop under a hot grill or over the barbecue for about 10 mins, turning and basting occasionally. Once cooked, serve with an extra pot of Fiery guava sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• In a small bowl crush the garlic with coarse salt; mix in cayenne pepper and paprika.
• Add in olive oil and lemon juice; mix until combine, then add in Tabasco if using.
• In a large bowl toss the shrimp with the garlic oil until evenly coated.
• Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile soak the wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill to medium heat, then lightly oil the grill grate.
• Thread the shrimp onto the wooden skewers.
• Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until opaque.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Finely grate the zest from 4 of the lemons, then pulse in a mini food processor with 3 tablespoons salt. Squeeze the juice from 2 of the zested lemons into a large bowl; add the lemongrass, olive oil, Sriracha, garlic, fish sauce, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of the lemon salt. Thinly slice the 2 remaining lemons and add to the bowl.
• Using kitchen shears, cut through the shrimp shells along the outer curve, leaving the shells on. Remove the veins and rinse the shrimp. Add to the bowl with the lemongrass marinade and toss; cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak 12 to 15 wooden skewers in water.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers. Brush the grill with vegetable oil, then add the lemon slices and grill until they begin to char, turning once, about 2 minutes; transfer to a platter. Stir the mint into the remaining marinade. Add the shrimp skewers to the grill and cook, brushing with the marinade-mint mixture, until the shells begin to char, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the platter and sprinkle with the lemon salt to taste.
