Preparation time

One hour including marinading time

Cooking time

4 minutes

Serves 

4

Ingredients

16 large  prawns, peeled to the tail

2 lemongrass stems, chopped (white part only)

2 kaffir lime leaves

1 long red chilli 

2tbs of Eagle Vale olive oil

80 ml coconut cream

Pinch of sea salt

Method

• Soak four bamboo skewers for 30 minutes to an hour in a bowl of water. This will save the skewers from burning when placed on the BBQ.
• Place the olive oil, lemongrass, lime leaves, chilli and a pinch of salt in a blender. Pulse until finely chopped and well combined.
• Toss the prawns in the marinade and leave in the fridge for an hour.
• Preheat the BBQ to medium high.
• Thread four prawns on to each soaked skewer. 
• Place the prawns onto the preheated BBQ and grill for 3 minutes then baste with the coconut cream. Turn the prawns over and cook for another minute on the other side and baste again.
• Serve the prawns to the table still on their skewers.
