I know you all must be thinking I have gone crazy by having a barbecue at this time of the year.I didn’t opt for these simple skewers intentionally and let me share that story of why I had to

We went to one of my close friend  R’s birthday party last week, it was a huge party and enjoyed thoroughly as it was on a weekend, I hate to go out on weekday unless its absolutely necessary  anyway R’s and S’s family came over for a cuppa on Sunday morning to say thank you for all the help me and Rocky did.It was a special birthday

S’s hubby loves my prawn dishes and asked me if I can make some snacks with it next time they come over for a dinner, we said yes and started chatting, the late morning tea has moved till lunch and I could see the guys deeply involved in their discussions which made me think of cooking some lunch together, so there we were in the kitchen trying to make some simple lunch for those hungry men.

I have a George Foreman’s Indoor Grill which Rocky uses most of the time for his weekend breakfasts for sausages, bacon etc. I wanted to try grilling my prawns and veggie skewers.

You can use the normal grill if you want. They were so simple to make but the taste made them want for more n more!!

We girls n kids ended up gobbling few in the kitchen itself as the guys were pouncing upon the plates as soon as I place few more.

Here are my simple recipes first for

 Prawns BBQ:

As we had kids around who were little fussy when I make them spicy, I avoided chilli powder this time but used full green chillies which can be removed for those little ones.

King Prawns: 2 pkts( frozen or fresh)

Lemons cut into small chunks

Full Chillies cut into small pieces

Salt to taste

Oil( preferably sunflower) : 1 tbsp

Lemon juice: 1 tsp

Mix all these Ingredients and leave it in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Now Thread prawns, lemon chunks and chillies into the wooden skewers, which were soaked in cold water for 10 minutes to avoid burning and when the grill is medium hot, place them on the grill. Avoid turning them too often. One 5 minutes of each side and juicy n succulent barbecued prawns were up for a grab.

Vegetable skewers:

Red onions: 2

Paneer: 1 pkt

Yellow pepper: 1

Red pepper: 1

Sunflower oil: 1 tbsp

Pepper: 1 tsp

Thyme: 2 tsp( I used dry)

Rosemary: 1 tsp( again dry  but you can use fresh if u want, I didn’t have any in my fridge so opted for dry herbs)

Salt to taste

Cut all the above vegetables into big chunks. Mix all the above mentioned ingredients and leave it in the fridge for atleast 20 minutes.
