Prawn Kebabs Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the skewers in a bowl of water for 10 mins. Meanwhile, peel the prawns, leaving the tails intact, and devein. To do this, run a sharp knife down the back, making a tiny incision just enough to remove the visible black vein. Wash the prawns and pat dry with kitchen paper.
• In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic, cumin, oregano, lemon zest and 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the prawns and leave to marinate for 15 mins at room temperature. Then skewer a prawn onto each stick.
• Heat the remaining oil in a roomy frying pan and fry the prawns for 3-4 mins, turning halfway through until just cooked. You may need to do this in batches. Season, squeeze over some lemon juice and serve.

Steps:

• To prepare the marinade, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to blend.
• Pour 2/3 cup marinade over the prawns, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Assemble the kebebs, starting with a piece of onion, and alternate with the prawns, bell pepper, and pineapple, leaving 1/2 inch of skewer showing at either end.
• Grill the kebabs on medium high heat, basting with the reserved marinade until the prawns are opaque and fully cooked, about 5 minutes per side.
• Serve immediately with a side dish of wild rice or garlic mashed potatoes.
