THE GYM CHEF

JAMAICAN JERK

PRAWNS WITH

MANGO SALAD

These spicy Jamaican jerk prawns pack a punch

but when partnered with sweet mango and cooling

avocado, they’re a BBQ dream. With a quick

marinate time and even quicker cooking time,

these little beauties are healthy and will certainly

impress guests. Top level health statistics, per

serving (two skewers with salad)

METHOD

1. Skewer raw prawns, approximately four per skewer.


2. Combine all the marinade ingredients. For a gentle heat, use one teaspoon of
   seasoning; to kick it up a notch, use two teaspoons. Brush the marinade over the
   prawns making sure each one has a good coating.


3. While the prawns are marinating, prepare the salad. Slice the avocado and mango into
   bitesize chunks and half the cherry tomatoes. Mix in finely chopped coriander to taste.


4. Heat the BBQ.


5. Once the prawns have had half an hour to marinate, place them on the BBQ. They will cook
   very quickly, only needing three minutes either side.


6. Once cooked, serve with the mango salad and enjoy!
   Preparation time: 15 minutes Prawn marinade: 30 minutes Cooking time: 6 minutes
