    • 10ml medium curry powder
    • 7ml ground palm sugar
    • 7ml red chilli flakes, ground
    • oil, for frying

    1

    Cook the prawns in lightly salted boiling water for about 5 – 10 minutes. Drain and cool.

    2

    Mix the curry powder, palm sugar and chilli flakes together and lightly dust over the prawns. Shallow-fry in a little oil for about 2 minutes to release the flavours of the curry and chilli. Cool and thread the prawns onto bamboo skewers – two per skewer. Season with cayenne pepper and salt.
