How to Make Chilli King Prawns Shrimp Skewers With Pistachio Coriander Rub

  1. Shell and devein 32 large prawns.
  2. Thread four prawns onto each of eight skewers (soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes prior).
  3. In a food processor or blender, combine 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, 1/4 cup packed coriander leaves, 2-3 green chillies (adjust to your spice preference), 1/4 cup grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup desiccated coconut, 2 tablespoons coconut milk, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt. Process until a smooth paste forms.
  4. Transfer the paste to a small bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon of water to loosen the consistency.
  5. Rub the paste generously over all the prawns on the skewers.
  6. Preheat a grill plate or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill surface. Cook the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the remaining paste, until the prawns are pink and cooked through (approximately 8-10 minutes total).
  7. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving immediately. Enjoy!
