Sweet, smoky and packed with vibrant flavour, these barbecued prawn skewers are guaranteed to impress with very little effort. Fresh Chilli Jam creates a beautifully balanced marinade, combining fruity sweetness with a gentle chilli heat that caramelises as the prawns cook, delivering sticky, lightly charred prawns bursting with flavour. Perfect for barbecues, alfresco lunches or as an easy starter, they’re ready in minutes and are delicious served with an extra spoonful of Fresh Chilli Jam for dipping.
Serves: 4 as a starter or light lunch
Prep: 25 mins (including marinating)
Cook: 6-8 mins
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp Tracklements Fresh Chilli Jam
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- Juice of 2 limes
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 400g raw king prawns, peeled
- Handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 10-12 skewers (soaked if wooden)
To Serve
- Dressed green salad
- Lime wedges
- Extra Tracklements Fresh Chilli Jam for dipping
Method:
- In a bowl, mix together the Tracklements Fresh Chilli Jam, garlic, lime juice and black pepper. Add the prawns and toss well until evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Thread 4-5 prawns onto each skewer. Barbecue over a medium-high heat, or cook under a preheated hot grill, for 3-4 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with any remaining marinade, until the prawns are pink, lightly charred and cooked through.
- Arrange the skewers on a serving platter, scatter over the chopped coriander and serve immediately with a dressed green salad, lime wedges and an extra pot of Tracklements Fresh Chilli Jam for dipping.
