Method

  1. Alternate prawns and tomatoes onto 8 skewers until all are filled. Lay the skewers in a shallow tray or baking dish. Mix the Fiery guava or sweet chilli dipping sauce with the lime juice and thyme leaves, then pour over the skewers. Leave in the fridge to marinate for 30 mins.
  2. Place the prawns onto a baking tray and pop under a hot grill or over the barbecue for about 10 mins, turning and basting occasionally. Once cooked, serve with an extra pot of Fiery guava sauce for dipping.

    Nice and quick and easy to make, my friends really enjoyed them. I used sweet chilli as couldn't find the other sauce.

    Very easy to make and tasted lovely. Served with rice and salad. I also made some halloumi and tomato skewers for a veggie, but these didn't do so well. The best thing to do with these I think is to grill first and then use the sauce as a dip.

    I made this with sweet chilli and served with a crunchy salad as a supper. Quick and easy, but I didn't really enjoy them

    Really lovely, but next time I would marinate the prawns before putting them on the skewers, maybe I used the wrong dish to marinate them in, but as we put them into a already packed fridge, I think some of the prawns may have missed out.
