Chipotle Lime BBQ Prawns
Serves: 2 people
Takes: 15 mins - 30 mins
I love a BBQ! I like to make a few marinades and mix and match them across my skewers, meaning I have a few different seafood ones to please everyone.
This is one of my favourites as it has my all time fave chilli paste - chipotle!
Ingredients
12 large raw prawns, shell and vein removed but tail left on
1 large red onion, cut into large wedges
1 small cauliflower/fave veg, cut into large bitesize pieces and blanched for 5 minutes
8 prunes, pitted
1 tablespoon oil
3 fat cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chipotle chilli paste
1 tablespoon honey
good pinch of cumin seeds, roughly crushed
1 teaspoon fresh dill, roughly chopped
zest and juice of 1/2 lime (save a little for squeezing over once cooked)
good pinch of salt, to taste
6 - 8 long skewers, soaked in water if they are wooden
Method
Heat the BBQ while you make the skewers.
Place all the ingredients in a bowl (except the skewers), and mix together until well coated.
Thread the ingredients onto the soaked skewers, alternating them as you go.
Grill on the hot BBQ (indirect heat) for around 10 minutes (less for small prawns) and until the skewers are cooked through.
Serve with your fave BBQ sides, flat bread and a generous squeeze of fresh lime.
My Tip: If the weather isn’t too kind, you can grill these under a preheated grill for 10 minutes instead. Turn them a few times during cooking to get that good smoky char.
