  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Peel and marinate the prawns.
  • If you have whole king prawns, peel the prawns and leave the tails on.
  • Peel and crush the garlic and finely chop the chili pepper.
  • Place in the bowl with prawns and add freshly chopped parsley, lemon juice and olive oil.
  • 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.
  • Discard the marinade or use for another batch.
  • Cook the prawns on high for 2-4 minutes on each side.
  • Serve with the avocado dip and try with Easy Vegetable Salsa.
  • Also try them as filling in low-carb tortillas! Tips for pan roasting: Preheat a large regular or griddle pan and cook on high heat for 2-4 minutes on each side.
