Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Large prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 large Bell peppers (cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 large Red onion (cut into wedges)
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 8 pieces Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more intense flavor.
While the prawns marinate, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers into 2-inch pieces, and slice the red onion into wedges.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated prawns onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Distribute evenly across all the skewers.
Place the kebabs on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the prawns are opaque and cooked through, and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of rice, pita bread, or fresh salad.
