Prawn Kebabs

Tisme's Note:

Going through my old handwriiten cookbooks and found this gem. I remember making these once for a B.B.Q. and thought I would share!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 30 mins
• Prep Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 24 prawns
• 3 zucchini (courgettes)
• 16 large button mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon oil
• wooden skewer

Marinade Ingredients

• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Shell and devein the prawns. Top, tail and wipe the zucchini and slice into think rounds. Clean the mushrooms with a soft cloth and remove the stems. Put the prawns, mushroom caps and zucchini into a large bowl. Add the marinade and cover with cling wrap and leave for 1 hour gently stirring the mix occansionally.
2. After 1 hour drain off the marinade and thread the prawns, zucchini, and mushrooms alternately onto skewers. (I use 3 of each thing on each skewer).
3. Place skewers onto an oiled baking tray and cook in a moderately hot oven for 20-25 minutes, basting them 4-5 times during cooking with the cooking juices.
4. Serve hot.

Simple and delicious! I made a few small preparation changes slicing the mushrooms and zucchini to suit the size of the prawns / skewers but otherwise stuck with the marinade and cooking method. The subtle lemon / garlic flavour was great and the olive oil in the marinade helped it all cook evenly.
