Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the Vegemite, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and finely chopped lemongrass to create a marinade.
Place the prawns in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
While the prawns are marinating, prepare the green slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped kale, julienned carrot, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the slaw dressing.
Pour the dressing over the green slaw and toss well to combine. Set aside for the flavors to meld together.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated prawns for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through.
Serve the Vegemite-infused prawns on a platter alongside the refreshing green slaw. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired and enjoy!
