2 tablespoon dry sherry

1 tablespoon honey

3 clove garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon peanut oil

16 large green prawns, peeled, deveined, tails intact

8 bamboo skewers, soaked

2 green onions, cut into 3cm lengths

1.In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine sherry, honey, garlic and oil. Microwave on high (100%) power for 30 seconds. Mix well.

2.Add prawns to marinade, tossing well to coat.

3.Thread 2 prawns onto each skewer, alternating with green onion pieces.

A combination of prawns and scallops is also delicious. Don’t overcook shellfish as it becomes tough and dry.
