Instructions
- Peel and marinate the prawns.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes or in the fridge overnight.
- Don't throw the shells away.
- They are full of fantastic flavour and you can use them to make fish stock or soup.
- Prepare the avocado dip.
- Halve, deseed and scoop the avocado into a bowl.
- Halve, deseed and finely chop the chili pepper.
- Add mayonnaise, sour cream, chili pepper, crushed garlic, freshly chopped dill, salt and pepper.
- Mash using a fork, add extra virgin olive oil and mix well.
- Garnish with more dill and set aside.
- Assemble the skewers by piercing through the prawns in two points.
- Piercing them in 2 points will prevent them from moving on the skewers.
