Quick to prepare and even quicker to cook, these prawn skewers are great as part of a tapas spread or as a barbeque dish. Serve with lemon wedges and maybe some aioli. Smoked paprika is a delicious ingredient and you can choose whether to use the sweet or hot variety depending on your target audience and their spice tolerance. As this is such an easy recipe, it is not too much bother to split the marinade into half sweet and half spicy…just remember which is which when serving! You could also add cherry tomatoes or little piquant peppers in between the prawns to make them go a little further.
