🌶🔥 Chilli & Lime Prawn Skewers

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 500g raw prawns (peeled, deveined, tails on)

• 2 tbsp Exotic Chillies Red Habanero Chilli Paste

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Juice & zest of 2 limes

• 2 cloves garlic (minced)

• 1 tbsp honey (optional, balances heat)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)

• Lime wedges (to serve)

• Bamboo or metal skewers

Method

1. Prep the skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes so they don’t burn on the grill.

2. Make the marinade: In a bowl, mix together the red habanero chilli paste, olive oil, lime juice & zest, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper.

3. Marinate the prawns: Add the prawns to the bowl and coat well. Let them marinate for 15–20 minutes (don’t go longer or the lime will start cooking the prawns).

4. Skewer & grill: Thread the prawns onto skewers. Grill over medium-high heat (BBQ or grill pan) for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred.

5. Serve & enjoy: Sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve hot with lime wedges on the side.

🔥 Serving Suggestion: Pair with a mango & avocado salad or some chilli-lime corn on the cob for a spring BBQ feast.
