INGREDIENTS

  • 600g cleaned raw prawns
  • 30ml SPAR Olive Oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 30ml SPAR Lemon Juice
  • Smoked paprika
  • 125ml SPAR Mayonnaise
  • Chopped parsley
  • Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water

CHEF’S TIP

Do not overcook the prawns – remove them as soon as they are opaque and firm.

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Thread the prawns onto skewers. Mix olive oil, two-thirds of the garlic, half the lemon juice, paprika and seasoning, then brush over the prawns.
  2. Mix the mayonnaise with the remaining garlic, lemon juice and parsley; chill until serving.
  3. Cook the skewers on a hot grill pan or braai for 2–3 minutes per side, until opaque and cooked through.
  4. Serve immediately with the lemon mayonnaise.

GOOD TO KNOW

  1. Freezer friendly? NO
  2. Leftovers? – Refrigerate cooked prawns for up to 1 day.
