Sweet Chili Mandarin Prawn Skewers

Prep Time15 Minutes

Servings8

Cook Time8 Minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce (see Note)

1/4 cup mandarin orange juice (see Note)

1 Tbsp lime juice

1 Tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger

8 raw prawn skewers (see Note)

1 green onion, minced

1/4 cup unsalted peanuts or roasted cashews, coarsely chopped

mandarin orange slices

lime slices

and cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Directions

Combine sweet chili sauce, juices, soy sauce and ginger in a small pot. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Use paper towel to remove excess moisture on the prawn skewers. Set the skewers in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle the top of each skewer with 2 tsp or so of the sweet chili sauce mixture.

Bake prawns 6 to 8 minutes, until just cooked through. While they cook, set the pot with the remaining sweet chili sauce mixture in it over medium heat and bring to a simmer.

When prawns are cooked, set on a serving platter, and then drizzle with a bit more of the sweet chili sauce mixture. Sprinkle prawns with green onions and chopped peanuts (or cashews); garnish with orange and lime slices and cilantro sprigs. Pour the remaining sweet chili sauce mixture into a bowl and serve alongside the prawns.

Note: Bottles of Thai sweet chili sauce are available in our Asian foods aisle. 1 large, or 2 small to medium, mandarin oranges, halved and squeeze of their juice, should yield the amount needed here. Raw prawn skewers are available in our Seafood Department.
