Ingredients

2 x 300g pack Asda Extra Special Raw & Whole Jumbo King Prawns, defrosted

1 tsp Smoked Paprika

2 Garlic Cloves, crushed

1 tbsp Olive Oil

1 Lemon, finely zested

225g pack Asda Extra Special Chorizo Casero

1 tbsp Fresh Chives, finely chopped

Method

1
Peel the prawns but leave the tails on. To butterfly a prawn, make a deep cut along the back, remove the vein, rinse and dry the prawns with a paper towel. Put in a medium bowl, counting as you go (around 20–21 prawns). Add the paprika, garlic, oil and zest of ½ the lemon. Set aside to marinate for up to 30 mins.
2
Slice the chorizo into thick slices, ensuring you have the same number of slices as prawns. Thickly slice the zested lemon and set aside.
3
Put a piece of chorizo in the curve of each prawn and push a skewer through, passing through both ends of the prawn and the chorizo. Try to fit 3 to 4 prawns on each skewer. Cover and chill until ready to cook. Soak wooden skewers in cold water for around 30 mins before using to stop them burning.
4
Heat the barbecue until hot. Cook the prawn skewers and lemon slices for 2 mins on each side until the prawns are cooked through and the lemon caramelised. Serve on a plate with the chives and lemon slices.
