Method

Step 1

Mix the squid and prawns with the garlic, chilli, lemon juice and zest, saving a little zest to garnish. Leave to marinate for 5 mins.

Step 2

Thread a squid ring, a prawn and another squid ring onto each skewer.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and cook the skewers, turning once, to ensure the prawns are fully cooked and their flesh turns opaque and pink or white.

Recipe tips

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes before threading on the seafood.
The skewers can also be cooked under a hot grill for 4-5 minutes turning once, to ensure the prawn is fully cooked through and opaque in colour. Put a little foil over the exposed wood on the skewers to prevent them from burning under the grill.
