Ingredients:
Serves 2 | 15 mins cook| Approx 336 calories
1 Packet of raw prawns (240g)
1/2 Packet of cherry tomatoes
2-3 Tsp Thai red curry paste (I am using the brand Ayam)
1 Lemon
Coriander leaves (optional)
Salt and pepper
Bamboo skewers (pre-soaked for at least an hour or overnight)
Top tips:
The prawns can sit in the curry paste ahead of time. I do not coat the cherry tomatoes in the paste as the burst of flavour offsets the richness of the spices and makes a nice fresh contrast when eating.
Don’t worry if the tomatoes aren’t perfect in shape remember this is homemade cooking and the joy is in the thought.
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the prawns
Put the raw prawns in a bowl and add 2 Tsp of Red Thai Curry paste
This can be left in the fridge to take on the flavour and taken out when ready for cooking.
Step 2: Prepare the tomatoes
Cut your cherry tomatoes in half and cut a V as shown in the picture to resemble a heart
Dab the tomatoes with kitchen roll to soak up the excess liquid
Step 3: Assemble the skewers & cook
Take out your skewers and assemble your prawns and tomatoes on the skewer as pictured above
Get the BBQ on/ Grill onto a high heat
Once heated add on your skewers.
Cut 1/2 wedge of lemon & squeeze over the prawns so you get the extra sizzle after turning and to further flavour
Step 4: Serve
Serve! Squeeze over more lemon, salt and pepper. Sprinkle of coriander is optional
