- Shell the prawns, leaving the tails on.
- Mix the tandoori seasoning in a medium size bowl with the yoghurt and salt.
- Gently stir in the prawns until they are all well coated with the yoghurt/tandoori mixture, then cover and marinate in the fridge for several hours, or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, soak 12 bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Thread four prawns onto each skewer, piercing each prawn through the tail end and the head end of the body, so it sits like a C on the skewer.
- Grill on a pre-heated barbecue, brushing with left-over marinade as they cook. Be careful not to overcook the prawns.
- Serve immediately.
Additional Tips
These tandoori prawn skewers are ideal party food. They can be removed from the skewer and arranged on a plate, so that each one can be held by the tail and eaten in the fingers. Alternatively, serve a couple of skewers on steamed rice.
