Something I whipped up one night for the in-laws. It was inspired by, and based loosely, on several other recipes I have seen. Fairly basic but terrifically tasty!

Serves: 4

• 3 large cloves of garlic, finely minced
• Thumb-size (2 – 2 1/2 inch) ginger, peeled and finely minced

1. Soak bamboo skewers in cold water during preparation of the marinade.
2. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large, non-reactive, bowl or a large plastic freezer bag.
3. Add prawns and marinate 15 to 30 minutes. Stir or agitate a couple of times to ensure all prawns get completely coated.
