Fire up the barbecue and make these easy, tasty spicy prawn skewers with pickled cherry peppers.
Ingredients
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 red chili, finely chopped
- ½ small bunch of parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
- ½ tsp hot smoked paprika
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 400g raw king prawns, in their shells, if you like, or keep the tails on
- 1 jar of pickled cherry peppers, drained
- lemon wedges, to serve
Method
STEP 1
Whisk the garlic, chili, parsley, both types of paprika, and olive oil together. Stir through the prawns and season well. Cover, put in the fridge, and leave to marinate for at least 30 mins before threading onto skewers, interspersing them with a few of the peppers, so that each skewer has about 4-5 prawns.
STEP 2
Light a barbecue and leave until the flames die down and the coals turn white with glowing centers. Grill the skewers, or cook in a griddle pan over high heat for 3-4 mins until pink and opaque. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon and plenty of saffron aïoli.
