1. Peel the middle body section of the prawn shells, leaving the tail and head intact. Skewer 3-4 prawns onto 8 metal skewers.
2. Mix 2 tbsp oil, coriander, cumin, turmeric and a little salt together. Brush the mixture all over the prawn skewers. Chill for at least 1 hour to marinate.
3. Meanwhile, heat the palm sugar with 125ml water in a small saucepan, stir until the sugar dissolves then bring to the boil. Add the chilli and kaffir lime leaves, cover and cool to room temperature before stirring through the peanuts and cucumber.
4. Barbecue the skewers for about 3-4 minutes each side, turning once, until cooked through. Serve immediately with a little dipping sauce spooned over and the remaining sauce served in a small dish.
