Garlic & Lemongrass Prawn Skewers

Name a more iconic appearance than Prawns on Christmas day 🦐 ..well.. they're certainly iconic on our Christmas table haha! πŸŽ„ Prawns are incredibly versatile, and what I LOVE about this recipe.. is that the flavours in the marinade taste SO fresh!! And for an extra Aussie-bonus, using the barbeque to cook these are just perfect for an Australian Christmas if you ask me! But if you don't own one, they can be cooked in 2 other ways as well! We're at our THIRD recipe for this Christmas series. These are easy to prepare, quick to cook, easy for guests to grab off a platter.. the full package, really! Here are my crowd-pleaser Garlic & Lemongrass Prawn Skewers! πŸŽ„
