Cooking Tips

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• If using frozen prawns, make sure to thaw them completely before marinating.
• For extra flavor, brush the prawns with the marinade while grilling.

Storage and Serving

• These prawn skewers are best served hot off the grill.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the skewers in a skillet or oven until heated through.
