Garlic, Turmeric & Lemongrass Prawns
Thai inspired, these prawns are quick and healthy and always a hit when I host a BBQ. Garlic, turmeric and lemongrass go beautifully together!
Ingredients
- 16 Large raw prawns peeled and deveined
- 6 Lemongrass stalks or pre soaked wooden skewers
- 4 Garlic cloves crushed
- Turmeric / garlic marinade
- 1 tsp turmeric fresh or ground
- 1/2 tsp Sea-salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsb Honey
- 1 tsb Olive or coconut oil
Dipping Sauce
- 2 Garlic cloves crushed
- 1 Large red chili roughly chopped
- 1 tsb Finely grated ginger
- 40 ml soy sauce
- 2 tsb Xylitol
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 handful Coriander torn
Instructions
- Blend the marinade ingredients and marinate the prawns for as long as you have, preferably overnight.
- Cut the lemongrass stalks diagonally (so you get about 3 strips from each stalk).
- Skewer each marinated prawn, using a knife to help make an incision if necessary.
- Blend the ingredients for the dipping sauce, including the coriander stalks, but not the leaves.
- Add the prawn skewers to the barbecue, giving them 1-2 mins to cook though. Serve with the dipping sauce and garnished with fresh coriander.
