1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp Chosen Foods Avocado Oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

Method:
- In a medium bowl, combine juice of one lime, tomato paste, smoked paprika, garlic, parsley, honey, avocado oil, and salt to make the marinade. Set aside.
- Prep and clean the prawns, removing the legs and head. With a sharp knife, cut an incision along the back of the prawn and butterfly the prawn without cutting through the shell.
- Skewer the butterflied prawns with 2 skewers to stabilize them and make it easier for the grilling portion.
- Brush the marinade on both sides and grill for a minute on the shell and then flip them and grill for another 30 seconds to a minute to get the grill marks.
- Carefully remove the cooked prawns from the skewers and place on a platter. Squeeze some fresh lime juice on top and serve hot with leftover lime wedges as a garnish.
