DrBeekeeper’s Honey-glazed Asian Prawns Recipe

As the party season approaches this is a great recipe to have up your sleeve, which is sure to be a hit!

Ingredients

  • 500 grams fresh peeled prawns (medium size work best)
  • ½ teaspoon salt; pinch of black pepper; pinch of cayenne pepper (to taste)
  • 3 tbsp of your favourite mild honey
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4 tbsp soya sauce
  • 1 tbsp finely sliced ginger
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp finely sliced red chili
  • 2 spring onions finely sliced
  • Juice of one lemon and one orange
  • Finely chopped coriander

Method

In a mixing jug combine all of the marinade ingredients (everything except the prawns, spring onion and coriander garnish). Set aside ½ of the marinade for the dipping sauce. Allow the prawns to marinade for as long as you can anything upto 12 hours is ideal. Remove the prawns from the marinade and grill on a medium/high heat, push the prawns through skewers to make the turning easier.

Cook for around 6/8 minutes under the preheated grill; remember to turn once. You will know when the prawns are cooked; they will go an even shade of pink! While the prawns cook, prepare the dipping sauce. Pour the reserved marinade in a saucepan and bring to the boil over a medium heat for no more than 5 mins; then remove from the heat and stir in your chopped spring onion and coriander garnish.

Now serve, ideally while steaming hot!
