Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or regular soy, gluten free
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- red pepper flakes optional, to taste
- 2 pounds prawns peeled and cleaned, tails still on
Instructions
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before using.
- Mix together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, chili paste, lime juice, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes if using, in a mixing bowl.
- Add the prawns to the bowl and mix until coated.
- You can cook straight away or leave to marinate. If marinating, marinate for 30 minutes up to 1 hours ahead. Thread about 5 prawns to each skewer.
- Preheat the grill (or charcoal grill), broiler or grill pan to medium heat, oil the grates and grill the skewers for 1 ½ -3 minutes per side or until opaque.
- Transfer skewers to a plate and serve.
Make In the Air Fryer
- Create the skewers like you did in the instructions above using steps 1-4.
- Preheat Air Fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C. Place skewers in the Air Fryer, making sure the skewers don’t touch.
- Cook for 5-8 minutes, turning skewers halfway through the cook time. Since air fryer temperatures can vary, start with less time and then add more as needed.
Notes
- For maximum flavor marinate shellfish for at 30-60 minutes.
- Make sure they are peeled before marinating so that the marinade goes in.
- Best you use large prawns so they are easier to thread or so they don’t drop between the grates while cooking.
- I highly recommend cooking prawns of the same size together so they cook evenly.
- These cook quickly, so keep close watch so they don't overcook. They become rubbery when overdone.
- I also highly recommend oiling the grill grates before turning on the grill to avoid the food sticking on.
- If possible, use metal skewers because they transmit heat well.
- Also flat skewers are ideal so food does not twirl around the skewer.
- No time to soak the skewers before marinating? Then just use grill plates instead.
- Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 2 days.
- There are 2 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
