- 1 tbls of Thai fish sauce

For the Mango Salad
- 1 chopped up fresh mango
- 1 chopped up red onion
- Half red chilli (optional)
- 1 Tomato chopped
- 1 Tbls of fresh chopped coriander
- 1 Tbls Olive oil (optional)
Method
Firstly if using wooden skewers the soak in water for at least 30 minutes so they don’t burn on the bbq.
Mix the garlic, ginger, chilli, fish sauce, soy sauce & oil to make the marinade
Put the prawns onto the skewers, I use mini 15cm skewers that hold 3 prawns to each skewer, you could use large skewers if you prefer.
Marinate the prawns for 30 minutes
Make sure your bbq is really hot, then add the prawn skewers to the bqq, directly over the heat.
After 1 minute turn over the prawn skewers and continue to cook for about 1 more minute until the prawns have completey changed from grey colour to pink.
Serve with fresh chopped coriander and lime wedges.
I also added a mango salad, simply chop up a fresh mango, red onion, red chilli, tomato, some coriander and serve.
