Sweet Chili Mandarin Prawn Skewers
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings8
Cook Time8 Minutes
Ingredients
1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce (see Note)
1/4 cup mandarin orange juice (see Note)
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
8 raw prawn skewers (see Note)
1 green onion, minced
1/4 cup unsalted peanuts or roasted cashews, coarsely chopped
mandarin orange slices
lime slices
and cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Directions
- Combine sweet chili sauce, juices, soy sauce and ginger in a small pot. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Use paper towel to remove excess moisture on the prawn skewers. Set the skewers in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle the top of each skewer with 2 tsp or so of the sweet chili sauce mixture.
- Bake prawns 6 to 8 minutes, until just cooked through. While they cook, set the pot with the remaining sweet chili sauce mixture in it over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
- When prawns are cooked, set on a serving platter, and then drizzle with a bit more of the sweet chili sauce mixture. Sprinkle prawns with green onions and chopped peanuts (or cashews); garnish with orange and lime slices and cilantro sprigs. Pour the remaining sweet chili sauce mixture into a bowl and serve alongside the prawns.
Note: Bottles of Thai sweet chili sauce are available in our Asian foods aisle. 1 large, or 2 small to medium, mandarin oranges, halved and squeeze of their juice, should yield the amount needed here. Raw prawn skewers are available in our Seafood Department.
