California Farm Skewered Prawns

Prawn meat is sweeter than scampi or crawdad or crab or shrimp, so we skewer it between two pieces of the same vegetable to flavor it.
Prawns are sized and packaged by how many go in a pound. We like 16-20 per pound, called jumbo, unpeeled, fresh frozen. Four or five per skewer, in between two pieces of sweet peppers, leek, ginger, lime and grapefruit.
Served over rice, seafood dipping sauce on the side. Leftover prawn shells and tails are used to make pureed bisque soup.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
