Spicy Coconut Suya Prawns

Coconut Prawn Suya with CousCous

A few weeks ago, my husband accused me of not throwing down at supper time (this is what happens when you throw down too often). Lol. Honestly though I hadn’t done anything creative for supper for a while and we are used to eating at least one experimental meal per week. Fast forward to a few days later, I got some prawns at the store but I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with them. I was finally inspired by my jar of coconut oil and here we are.
This is a must try recipe for everyone. It is fragrant, spicy and delicious.
Ingredients:

• 20-25 large prawns (shelled, cleaned and deveined)
• 1 heaped tablespoon suya spice
• Juice of half a lemon
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (Melted)
• 1 extra tablespoon coconut oil (if cooking stove top)
• 6-7 bamboo skewers

Other : A grill, stove top griddle, or frying pan
Direction:

• Toss the prawns with some salt and lemon juice marinate for 30 minutes or overnight

• Combine the suya spice and coconut oil – set aside
• Discard any excess liquid from the prawns. combine the coconut suya mix with the prawns

• Arrange 3-4 prawns on each skewer
• If using a grill- cook the skewers for 2 minutes on each side
