Ingredients
- 800 g Prawns, raw, peeled and deveined
- 400 g Pineapple, fresh
- 2 pc Red bell pepper
- 1 pc Red onion
- 2 pc Limes
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 pc Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Sweet paprika powder
- 1 pinch Chili flakes
- 1 tsp Salt
- Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 bunch Coriander
Method
- Whisk together the honey, olive oil, the juice of one lime, its grated zest, the pressed garlic cloves, paprika powder, chili flakes, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add the prawns to the marinade, toss well and let them chill for about 20 minutes.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes so they don't burn on the grill.
- Peel the pineapple and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Remove the seeds from the pepper and cut it into chunky pieces. Cut the onion into wedges.
- Thread the prawns, pineapple, pepper and onion alternately onto the skewers.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 200 °C) and grill the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the prawns are cooked through and pink. Brush them several times with the remaining marinade during grilling.
- Cut the second lime into wedges. Finely chop the coriander, sprinkle it over the skewers and serve with the lime wedges.
