Prawn skewers with lime and green onions recipe

Ingredients :

• 36 medium uncooked prawns
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 12 green onions ( green shallots)
• 2 limes, extra

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. Peel and devein prawns leaving the tails intact. (Reserve the prawn shells for prawn bisque, if desired.)
2. Combine prawns, juice, oil and garlic in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Cut the green onions into 4cm lengths. Thread 3 prawns onto each skewer, placing a piece of green onion between each prawn.
4. Cook skewers on a heated, oiled grill pan until browned on both sides and just cooked through.
5. Serve with extra lime wedges, if desired.
