Skewers and Slaw

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Prawns

    In a bowl, combine prawns, minced garlic, chopped red chili, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Slaw

    In a separate bowl, combine shredded napa cabbage and sliced bell pepper. Toss to mix and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Coconut Cashew Sauce

    In a blender, combine roasted cashews, coconut milk, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. If too thick, add a little water to reach desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Skewers

    Thread marinated prawns onto skewers. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Grill the Skewers

    Grill the prawns for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are pink and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the prawn skewers over the napa cabbage-bell pepper slaw and drizzle with coconut cashew sauce.
