Instructions
Clean the prawns, remove the head and wash off any gunk. Leave the shell and tail intact.
Mix the marinade and coat the prawns thoroughly and leave to marinade for 20 minutes. Stir it a round a couple of times to ensure even marinating.
Take a skewer and pierce a prawn from the tail right through to the top.
Repeat with the other prawns.
Barbecue for 2 minutes on each side. Alternatively, cook them under the grill. As the cooking time is so short, there is no need to baste.
Dipping Sauce
Mix everything together and keep aside.
Can be made a day earlier and kept, covered, in the fridge. Will last 2-3 days.
