Ingredients for Aussie Prawn And Scallop Skewers

  • Mango Chutney
  • Orange Juice
  • Barbecue Sauce
  • Pineapple
  • 250g raw prawns, peeled and deveined

How to Make Aussie Prawn And Scallop Skewers

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the prawns and scallops to the bowl and gently toss to coat in the marinade. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  3. Thread the prawns and scallops alternately onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to prevent burning.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the prawns are pink and opaque and the scallops are cooked through and slightly golden.
  6. Remove from the grill and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and extra oregano if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
