Lemony Salt and Pepper Prawn Skewers – Little Big H
I have mentioned in previous posts that kids will to eat just about anything if you put it on a stick!
These lemony salt and pepper prawn skewers are no exception… H loved them and I loved that they were easy, effortless and ready in 15 minutes.
The prawns are sprinkled with a lemony salt and pepper mixture and cooked on the BBQ for a few minutes. You could add whatever herbs and spices you like. If serving as finger food the dressing is optional but does add an extra hit of lemony goodness. As a main serve alongside rice and roughly chopped mint.
