Ingredients
- 200 Grams Prawns Tiger or King Preferably
- 1 Teaspoon Fresh Coriander Leaves Chopped - For Garnishing
- Oil For Shallow Frying
- 5 Skewer Sticks
For Marination
- 1 Teaspoon Salt According to Taste
- 1.5 Tablespoon Yogurt

Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients listed in Marination.
- Add Prawns in this Marination and keep in fridge for minimum 15 mins. Longer you can keep it, better the result.
- Pierce the prawns with skewers (Soak the skewers in water for 3-4 hours before using)
- Take out the marinated prawns and bring to room temperature. Keep a flat pan on medium heat. Once the pan is hot, lower the heat, and add a dash of oil for shallow frying. Now add the prawn skewers on the pan.
- Now shallow fry this for 3-4 mins, making sure prawns are fully cooked and pink / golden.
- Now serve these prawns on skewers with mayonnaise and lemon wedge.
Notes
- Do not over cook prawns else they will become hard and chewy
- Add a hint of rum or vodka in marination in case you like alcohol.
- You can try this same recipe in oven. On a pre-heated oven, keep prawns for 6-8 mins.
