Calories 80 kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g of peeled raw prawns
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons of cornflour
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
- A thumb sized piece of ginger peeled and grated
- ½ tablespoon of vegetable oil
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C (360 degrees F).
-
Whisk the honey, lemon juice, cornflour, garlic powder, soy sauce, ginger and vegetable oil in a large bowl until well combined.
-
Add the prawns and make sure all of them are coated in that marinade.
-
If you are using wooden skewers instead of metal skewers, soak them in water for about a few minutes. This will prevent them from burning in the oven.
-
Thread 3 prawns on each skewer.
-
Line a baking tray with baking paper, transfer your prawn skewers on the tray, then bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
Recipe Notes
- You can marinate the prawns for several hours or overnight if you wish, depending on how much time you have.
- If you're interested in other marinades, you can check out my Chicken Tikka Masala recipe and use the marinade in that post for these prawns.
- And since Thai flavoured prawn skewers are popular, here is a link to a list of Thai marinades: The Spruce Eat - Thai Marinades
- If fresh prawns are a little too expensive for you, you can buy a bag of frozen raw prawns and then defrost them in warm water. As soon as the prawns are defrosted, drain them dry them on some kitchen paper.
- You can pan fry or grill the prawns on the skewers over high heat instead of baking them in the oven. They should take no longer than 2 minutes on each side (make sure the pan or griddle pan is nice and hot before cooking the prawns). Grilled prawn skewers can be great for BBQ's.
- To prevent wooden skewers from burning, place them in water for a few minutes before threading on the marinated prawns. Or just use metal skewers instead if you have them.
- This Vegetable Fried Rice, or this Soba Noodle Bowl Meal Prep Recipe would work wonderfully with these prawns.
