Prawns on the Barbie!

On Tuesday Night we had prawns on the BBQ.  We went for fresh seasoning using mango and lime and finished with fresh basil. Grilled to perfection on the BBQ added that smoky flavour.

Prawn Kabobs
(makes 2 servings)
wooden/metal kabob sticks
12 Fresh Prawns
1 Ripe Mango
2 Ripe Limes
Salt/Pepper
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Basil to Garnish

If using wooden kabob sticks, soak for 10 minutes.  Peel and de-vein prawns.  Skewer prawns onto kabob sticks, 6 per stick.  Set aside. Peel and chop mango.  Place mango pieces into food processor. Squeeze the juice of 2 limes into the food processor, blend until smooth.  Spread mixture onto both sides of the prawns. Add salt and pepper. Let marinade for 30 minutes. Preheat BBQ to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush Prawns with Olive Oil and then cook for 2 minutes per side until cooked through.  Serve with fresh basil.
