2. Pour marinade over prawns and gently fold to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

3. Place prawns on skewers (or not! Without skewers works too). We like to add extra limes to ours.

5.Serve skewers with a squeeze of lime, a dash of tequila and a sprinkling of coriander for optimum Margarita-style prawns!
