Prawn Kebabs
Simple street food snack.
Introduction
These kebabs are a typical street food from Goa and Kerala - the sort of snack you might come across while walking along a beach. We love cooking these up on the barbecue as they always go down a treat.
Ingredients
Serves 4 |
| 1 tsp cardamom seeds |
| 2 tsp Cumin Seeds |
| 2 tsp Coriander Seeds |
| 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon |
| 1 tsp Turmeric |
| 1 garlic clove (finely grated or crushed) |
| 1 tsp Paprika |
| 2 tbsp sunflower oil |
| 200g fresh, raw king prawns |
| Salt to taste |
| Lime wedges to serve |
Instructions
- Dry roast the cardamom, cumin and coriander seeds in a small frying pan for 2-3 minutes or until golden and aromatic. Leave to cool.
- Grind the roasted seeds in a pestle and mortar or coffee grinder until fine. Combine with all remaining ingredients in a bowl. Add the prawns and stir well to coat them all. Leave to marinate for at least 1 hour.
- Just before cooking, season well with salt. Thread 3-4 prawns onto a skewer and continue until all the prawns are used.
- Cook under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked and slightly charred. Serve immediately with wedges of lime.
