Directions
Peel the prawns, leaving their tails on. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sesame oil, lemon zest, herbs, soy sauce and seasonings. Add the prawns. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Pre-heat the grill or barbecue. Thread prawns and ZESPRI GREEN Kiwifruit onto skewers. Brush the ZESPRI GREEN Kiwifruit with a little extra oil. Place the kebabs on the grill or barbecue and cook for 1-2 minutes each side, until the prawns are just cooked. Serve hot on a bed of couscous.
