I made this the other night, as hubby was not well and I just wanted something quick and easy that tasted good and was light. This was all of that and I really enjoyed my meal, as I made this for one I have adjusted the ingredients so it would be fine for two. The avocado cream will be too much, but this will keep in the fridge for a few days, this can’t be helped as you need to use a whole avocado so along with the other ingredients you end up with just over a cup.I really liked the sauce and thought all the ingredients went well together, I made with stated ingredients and so had left overs and just used it up over the following days. I have listed ingredients so it will serve 2 people, 2 skewers each, 5 prawns to a skewer, so do adjust if you want to make more.

Ingredients

20 Large uncooked prawns
2 Tablespoons Cajun seasoning (more or less depending on how spicy you like it.)
2 Teaspoons ground cumin
1 Teaspoon dried oregano
2 Cloves garlic, crushed
50ml olive oil

Creamy Avocado Sauce

1 Large Avocado
2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
2 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
1 Teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic powder
1 Tablespoon fresh coriander, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Method

1. Peel prawns, if not already and devein.

2. In a large bowl combine all the marinade ingredients, add prawns, toss to coat thoroughly, marinade for 1hr or until needed.

3. Thread prawns onto 4 skewers (soak skewers in water for 30 Min’s prior to using, to prevent burning.)

4. Cook skewers on the BBQ, under the grill or in a pan until prawns are pink and cooked through, baste a couple of times during cooking.

Serve with sauce on the side.

Creamy Avocado Sauce
