Prep time: 20 mins Cooking time: 10 mins Serves: 6

  • 1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges
  • 12 green Crystal Bay Prawns, peeled & deveined, tails on
  • 6 red and yellow mini peppers (3 of each)

Method
1

Thread 6 skewers with the following: a wedge of lemon, green prawn, red or yellow sweet pepper, another prawn and finish with a wedge of red onion.

2

Combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic in a long container that will accommodate the skewers. Soak the threaded skewers in the marinade for a minimum of 1 hour in the fridge to allow the flavours to soak in.

3

Heat the BBQ and cook skewers on either side until the prawns are cooked and the peppers have softened, then serve.

Chef’s Tip: The lemon on the top of the skewers makes a nice dressing if squeezed down over the prawns.
