Serving Suggestions

Note

• Make sure you buy green prawns (uncooked) and not cooked prawns, otherwise they will over cook and not taste as good.
• Soaking the bamboo skewers makes sure they don’t burn on the grill. You can also use metal skewers.
• Use any salad ingredients you have, I like cucumber and carrot but if you prefer other vegetables then go right ahead.
