The marinade typically includes oil, garlic, chilli flakes, and seasonings to impart flavor.

To cook, remove the skewers from their packaging. You can grill them over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, ensuring they are cooked through and the prawns are pink and opaque. Alternatively, pan-fry them in a hot skillet with a little oil for a similar amount of time, turning occasionally. They can also be placed under a preheated broiler, watching closely to prevent burning. Serve immediately after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain prawns, these skewers offer a pre-seasoned flavor profile with the distinct notes of chilli and garlic. The skewered format also makes them easier to handle and cook evenly, especially on a grill, and presents them nicely for serving.
