directions
Step 1
Whisk together mustard, lemon juice, garlic, chilies, olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Step 2
Add shrimp and let marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 3
If you are using wooden skewers, soak them at the same time in water. This will help prevent them from catching on fire when on the grill.
Step 4
Skewer the prawns. For each prawn skewer at the top of tail and through the head.
Step 5
Heat your barbecue to medium high and grease it.
Step 6
Grill each skewer for 90 seconds per side and check that it is cooked through– it will vary based on size of shrimps.
