Prawn kebab
Prawn kebabs
Serves 4
From a magazine, Simply Her. Very presentable. No sugarcane? Just pat the prawn mixture into round or sausage shaped patties, grill and serve wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves.
*
12 sticks of sugarcane, each 15cm long.
750g peeled prawns
1 clove of garlic
1.5cm piece of ginger, peeled
2 tsp fish sauce
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg white
1 tbsp cornflour
oil for basting
First
Pare away the skin of the sugarcane. Trim the middle section.
Second
Place prawns, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, sugar and pepper into food processor
and pulse into smooth paste. Add egg white and corn flour to the paste. Mix
well. With wet hands, mould the prawn paste around the thin section of each
sugarcane skewer and smooth into a sausage shape. Brush with oil and grill
in pre-heated 200 deg C oven for 20 minutes until prawn mixture turns pink.
