3 cloves, minced

Olive oil

Mango

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a zesty marinade.
2. Add the prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's nice and hot for a perfect sear.
4. While the grill is heating, prepare the skewers. Thread the marinated prawns, mango cubes, red bell pepper chunks, and red onion chunks onto the soaked skewers, alternating between each ingredient for a colorful presentation.
5. Once the grill is ready, place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the prawns turn pink and slightly charred, indicating they are cooked through.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for a burst of extra flavor.
