Seared Prawn Skewers with Mandarin Soy Glaze
This is a delicious twist on the iconic Aussie 'shrimp on the barbie' from Tenina Holder of Cooking with Tenina. The glaze is deliciously sweet thanks to the brown sugar and mandarin, with a salty twist from the soy sauce. It combines perfectly with fresh seafood!
Recipe Tester Feedback: “An easy dish that will turn heads at any BBQ! The mandarins add a nice citrus flavour that complements the prawns. Good hit of chilli too." - Lauren
