Ingredients

  • 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons kosher soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the kosher soy sauce, lime juice, kecap manis, ground coriander, ground turmeric, garlic powder, and chili powder to make the marinade.

  2. 2

    Add the peeled and deveined prawns to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand).

  5. 5

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns turn pink and opaque.

  6. 6

    Remove the prawns from the grill and serve immediately with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for garnish.
