Spicy Lime Prawns Served With Tomato Avocado Salsa image

The spicy tangy prawns are lovely served by themselves with some grilled lime wedges but I love the flavours of the salsa along with it.. so either way, it's delicious! Cooking time indicated includes marinating time.

20 large prawns, peeled and deveined
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • For salsa, combine tomatoes, avocado, spring onion, chilli, coriander, garlic, lime juice and oil in a bowl and season with salt and pepper (you may make this upto 3 hours in advance. Cover tightly with cling film and refrigerate).
  • You will need 4 wooden skewers soaked in water for atleast 20 minutes to stop them from burning.
  • In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, paprika, chilli powder, lime juice and salt.
  • Add in the prawns and toss to coat evenly.
  • Thread 5 prawns onto each skewer, cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes (you may marinate the prawns upto 2 hours in advance).
  • Pre-heat indoor grill to medium-hot, or for outdoor grills, medium-hot coals.
  • Grill the prawns until they are pink and the flesh is opaque, about 3 minutes on each side.
  • Serve hot with salsa and/or grilled lime wedges.
