Make sure there are extra as everyone will want one of these - and a finger bowl too - they can get messy!

- Mix the oil with the garlic, chilli, salt and paprika, then toss in the prawns. Marinate the prawns in the fridge for up to 1 day.
- TO BARBECUE: Cook the prawns singly or thread 3 onto skewers to make portions. Barbecue for just a few mins each side until they turn from grey to pink. Serve with the mint relish (just tiny pots per portion), warm finger bowls with lime slices, napkins, and a bowl for the shells.
Sara says...
Cooking prawns in their shells makes all the difference to their flavour, but shelling them is messy - so provide finger bowls, too.
