SPICY LEMON MYRTLE & GARLIC PRAWN SKEWERS

pREP TIME: 15 MINUTES

COOK TIME: 6-8 MINUTES

Ingredients

• Skewers:

  • 500 g large prawns, peeled and deveined (leave tails intact)

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tsp Rub-A-Dub Spicy Lemon Myrtle Seasoning

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 tsp salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Optional Garnishes:

  • Lemon wedges

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

• For Vegan/Vegetarian Alternative:

  • 500 g firm tofu or halloumi, cut into cubes

Method

1. Prepare the Skewers:

   • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

2. Marinate the Prawns:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Rub-A-Dub Spicy Lemon Myrtle Seasoning, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

   • Add the prawns (or tofu/halloumi) and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 15–30 minutes.

3. Assemble the Skewers:

   • Thread the marinated prawns (or tofu/halloumi) onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.

4. Cook the Skewers:

   • Preheat your BBQ grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.

   • Cook the skewers for 2–3 minutes per side, turning once, until the prawns are pink and opaque (or tofu/halloumi is golden and lightly charred).

5. Serve:

   • Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with a side of salad or grilled vegetables.
