Ingredients |
12 large prawns, peeled & deveined (can be raw or cooked)
1/2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted & ground
1/2 tsp dried oregano
juice & zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
12 small skewers

-
Soak the skewers in a bowl of
water for 10 mins. Meanwhile, peel the prawns, leaving the
tails intact, and devein. To do this, run a sharp knife
down the back, making a tiny incision just enough to
remove the visible black vein. Wash the prawns and pat dry
with kitchen paper.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, mix
together the paprika, garlic, cumin, oregano, lemon zest
and 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the prawns and leave to marinate
for 15 mins at room temperature. Then skewer a prawn onto
each stick.
-
Heat the remaining oil in a
roomy frying pan and fry the prawns for 3-4 mins - less if
using cooked prawns, turning halfway through until just
cooked. You may need to do this in batches. Season,
squeeze over some lemon juice and serve.
