- Add the marinated prawns from step 2 to the spice paste. Mix thoroughly and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
- Prepare your grill or oven. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers.
- If using an oven, place the skewers on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to catch any drips.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
- If grilling, cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
