1. Mix the marinade ingredients and add to the prawns. Leave for 5 mins. To cook on a barbecue: thread the prawns on metal skewers, place in the centre of the grill on the lemongrass and cook for 2-3 mins, turning once until opaque. Discard the lemongrass before eating.

To griddle

Heat a pan until almost smoking. Put the prawn skewers and lemongrass on for 2-3 mins, turning once - don't overcook.

  I tried this for a Valentine's starter. The flavour was good but I think I will try again in the summer on a BBQ as I don't think grilling had quite the same effect. Tasty though!

  Had this for our Good Friday Easter BBQ last year. It was so delicious we've decided to do it again this year.
