16-20 peeled and deveined prawns
4-5 skewers
1 lime
1 lemon
1/2 an orange
1/2 tbsp coarse black pepper
1/2 tbsp sea salt
1/3 cup olive oil
Your favourite dry herb rub
Your favourite spicy sauce
– Fire up the grill to 190 degrees celsius.
– Skewer prawn in a “lollipop” fashion.
– Juice a lime, lemon, and 1/2 an orange. Add olive oil while whisking to combine ingredients into a citrus oil. Add salt and pepper to the mixture.
– Brush the citrus oil onto the skewered prawns. Dust dry rub over each side once thoroughly brushed.
– Place prawn skewers on the grill.
– When the prawns begin to turn pink, slap some sauce onto either side.
– Finely chop one jalapeno with a small handful of coriander while the shrimp cooks.
– Let the prawns come to an internal temperature of 60 degrees. Be sure not to overcook the prawns, or else the texture becomes rubbery.
– Place skewers on a bed of rocket, juice any leftover lime on top, sprinkle with jalapeno, coriander, and enjoy!
