Toss these prawns with mango, avocado and cherry tomatoes, with a dressing of natural yoghurt mixed with the heated marinade to make a tasty healthy salad. Serve with jacket potatoes or garlic bread. If using smaller prawns, double the quantity to four dozen.

24	Prawns, large raw, peeled but leave tails on
8	Bamboo skewers, soaked in water
½ cup	Plain unsweetened yoghurt
1 handful	Coriander, chopped, to serve

Marinade

3 tbsp	Tomato paste
1 tbsp	Soy sauce
1 clove	Garlic, minced
¾ tsp	Smoked paprika
¾ tsp	Ground cumin
½	Lemon, juiced
1½ tbsp	Honey, melted
1 tbsp	Oil

Directions

Mix all marinade ingredients together.
Combine the prawns with marinade and leave in fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat barbecue to medium high heat. Lift prawns out of marinade (reserving any leftover marinade) and thread 3 prawns (or 6 smaller prawns) on to each bamboo skewer.
Season prawns with a little salt and cook on barbecue for 2 minutes, turning once.
Heat remaining marinade in a small pot on the stove top, or in the microwave, then mix with yoghurt and coriander.
Serve prawn skewers with yoghurt sauce to dip. Alternatively remove prawns from skewers and toss with mango, avocado, cherry tomatoes and the yoghurt sauce.
