Coconut Prawn Suya with CousCous
A few weeks ago, my husband accused me of not throwing down at supper time (this is what happens when you throw down too often). Lol.
Honestly though I hadn’t done anything creative for supper for a while and we are used to eating at least one experimental meal per week. Fast forward to a few days later, I got some prawns at the store but I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with them. I was finally inspired by my jar of coconut oil and here we are.
This is a must try recipe for everyone. It is fragrant, spicy and delicious.
Ingredients:
- 20-25 large prawns (shelled, cleaned and deveined)
- 1 heaped tablespoon suya spice
- Juice of half a lemon
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (Melted)
- 1 extra tablespoon coconut oil (if cooking stove top)
- 6-7 bamboo skewers
Other : A grill, stove top griddle, or frying pan
Direction:
- Toss the prawns with some salt and lemon juice marinate for 30 minutes or overnight
- Combine the suya spice and coconut oil – set aside
- Discard any excess liquid from the prawns.
- combine the coconut suya mix with the prawns
- Arrange 3-4 prawns on each skewer
- If using a grill- cook the skewers for 2 minutes on each side
- If using a stove top griddle or pan- place on high heat and add in the tablespoon of coconut oil. Sear the shrimps on high on both sides (this is to get the dark, almost grilled look). Reduce the heat to medium and cook the skewers for another 2 minutes on both sides.
Enjoy skewers with some Sweet Potato Fries or Nigerian style couscous
