Prawns with a homemade Peri Peri sauce.

Punchy flavour and added nutrients by making the sauce, transforming this dish into a double whammy of low calorie healthiness.

Ingredients

• 175g raw King Prawns (any are fine actually) (quantity serves 2 as a starter portion, or 1 large rugby player…)
• Peri Peri sauce – see my recipe for homemade sauce (or use shop bought if you are short of time)

Method

Clean the prawns and thread onto wooden skewers that have already soaked in water for about 10 min (this prevents them from burning when cooking on fire)

Prepare two bowls of Peri Peri sauce – 1 for basting while cooking and 1 for dipping at the end when eating.

Braai (or bbq) the prawns until done. Careful not to overcook, they turn pink really quickly. Around 3 min max. You can also cook these in a pan if you like.

While cooking, baste the prawns with your Peri Peri sauce, turn over, and baste the other side. (note – do not marinade the prawns as it has a negative effect on the texture of the flesh)

Once cooked, serve with your homemade Peri Peri sauce and enjoy!
