Method
- Prepare the peppers by cutting them into shapes suitable to thread on skewers.
- Juice the lemon.
- In a blender process the spring onions, coriander leaves, chilli, oil and juice from the lemon until you get a paste, and decant into a container.
- Mix the raw prawns into the paste and marinate for at least one hour - not over night as the lemon will cook the prawns.
- Thread the pepper chunks onto skewers alternating with prawns. Prawns are best threaded through tail and body (horizontal) less chance of falling from skewer when being cooked on the BBQ.
- Baste prawns with marinade while cooking and serve once prawns have turned pink and the peppers have singed a little around the edges.
