• 500 grams fresh prawns
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 4 skewers wooden or metal skewers

Method

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and salt to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Add the fresh prawns to the marinade and mix well to ensure all prawns are coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3. 3

   While the prawns are marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes if using wooden skewers to prevent burning.

4. 4

   Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

5. 5

   Thread the marinated prawns onto the skewers, about 3-4 prawns per skewer.

6. 6

   Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on it and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns are opaque and cooked through.

7. 7

   Remove the prawns from the grill, and serve hot with additional lemon wedges and dipping sauces if desired.
