method
- Make the marinade by putting the lime zest and juice, olive oil and salt in a small bowl. Leave to stand for 5-10 minutes.
- Insert the pointed end of each skewer into the head end of a prawn, push through the entire length and out the tail end so the prawn is straight. Lay skewer down on a piece of aluminium foil, then repeat with the remaining prawns.
- Rub the prawns with the marinade, wrap them in the foil and leave in fridge to infuse for 1-2 hours.
- When ready to cook, open up the foil parcel, lay the prawns on your barbecue and cook for 5 minutes, turning once.
- Cover a large serving dish with the salad leaves, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Lay the prawn skewers on top and serve with the salsa.
