Sesame-glazed prawn yakitori

Ready in 15 minutes, serves 4.

This is a classic combination that’s incredibly tasty.

• 24 large prawns, peeled, deveined
• 3 spring onions, cut into 2cm lengths
• 8 x 12cm bamboo skewers
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp white wine
• 2 tsp honey
• 1 small red chilli, seeds removed, finely sliced
• 2 tbsp wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

1. Thread 3 prawns and 2 pieces of spring onion onto each skewer.

2. Combine soy sauce, wine, honey, chilli and vinegar in a shallow dish. Put sesame seeds on a plate. Dip each prawn skewer into the soy mixture then coat with the seeds.

3. In a large frying pan, heat oil over a medium-high heat. Cook skewers until prawns are opaque, approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

4. Transfer skewers to a plate. Pour the remaining soy mixture into the hot pan, and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 15 seconds. Pour sauce over the prawns to serve.

Cook’s tip: Serve with fresh lime halves for a little extra zing.
