COCONUT PRAWN SKEWERS

 2 x 125g packs raw king prawns
 100ml coconut milk
 Juice ½ lime
 Handful of fresh coriander, chopped
 8 stalks lemongrass
 Sweet chilli dipping sauce and lime wedges, to serve
 Fresh coriander sprigs to garnish
 HOW TO MAKE:
1
Using a skewer, pierce holes through all the prawns, and wiggle around to make the holes quite large. Remove the skewer, and put the prawns in a shallow non-metallic container.
2
Mix the coconut milk, lime juice and coriander together and season. Pour over the prawns and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature or for longer in the fridge.
3
Cut and peel away some of the tougher outer leaves of the lemongrass stalks until they are thin enough to push through the holes in the prawns.
4
Divide the prawns between the lemongrass stalks (if you can't find lemongrass, cook on wooden skewers previously soaked in water). Cook on a gentle barbecue for about 5 minutes, turning and brushing with leftover marinade, until pink and cooked through. Serve with dipping sauce and lime wedges.
