How to Make Australian Chili Prawns

1. Shell 500g of prawns, leaving the tails intact. Devein by gently removing the dark vein running along the back of each prawn.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chili sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference).
3. Add the shelled prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
4. Preheat your barbecue to medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers (metal or soaked wooden skewers).
6. Grill the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque and are cooked through. Baste with any remaining marinade during cooking.
7. Remove from the barbecue and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges, if desired.
