  • 125ml (1/2 cup) fresh lemon juice
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 40.00 ml coarsely chopped fresh oregano
  • 40.00 ml coarsely chopped fresh chives
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper

  • Lemon wedges, to serve

  • 1/2 red onion, halved, thinly sliced

Instructions:
  • Skewer each prawn from the tail end and place them in a large, shallow glass or ceramic dish.
  • In a medium jug, mix lemon juice, oil, oregano, and chives. Add salt and pepper for seasoning. Pour this mixture over the prawns, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.
  • Prepare the chickpea & spinach salad by mixing spinach, chickpeas, tomato, and onion in a large bowl. In a separate container, blend lemon juice, oil, and mustard. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.

After draining the prawn skewers, grill half of them for 4 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked and have a nice char. Keep the cooked skewers warm by covering them with foil on a plate. Grill the remaining prawn skewers in the same manner.
