Ingredients
- 10 slices pancetta or prosciutto
- 20 whole raw prawns, peeled but tails left on
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Dip
- 1 tbsp finely chopped preserved lemons or grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp finely snipped chives
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
- Soak 20 short bamboo skewers in water to prevent them burning under the grill.
- To make the dip, combine the preserved lemon or lemon zest, lemon juice, chives and mayonnaise and refrigerate.
- Heat the grill to high.
- Cut the pancetta or prosciutto - probably in half, although sizes of slices differ - so that it wraps around the middle of the prawn, still showing some of the prawn at either end.
- Thread each prawn onto a skewer and lay on a baking sheet with a rim.
- Mix the olive oil with sea salt and freshly ground pepper in a bowl and brush the prawns with the seasoned oil.
- Grill for 3-4 minutes on one side until the pancetta is crisp, then turn and grill for a minute or two more until cooked through.
- Serve hot or warm with the lemon mayonnaise for dipping.
