Serves 4

Skewers
20 prawns
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbs ginger, finely chopped
2 tsp brown sugar
Zest and juice of one lemon
1 tsp sesame oil
1 Tbs vegetable oil
Salt

Salsa
1 mango
1 small onion

1 Soak the skewers in water. Marinate the prawns with the garlic, ginger, sugar, zest and juice, oil and salt. Leave for at least 1 hour.

2 Make the salsa by finely dicing the mango, onion, banana and chilli. Mix with salt, lime juice and the oil and leave for a few hours to let the flavours develop.

3 Skewer the prawns and cook on a hot grill for approximately two minutes on each side, depending on their size. Serve hot with the salsa.
