Honey and sesame snap prawn skewers with green mango salad

Method

Combine the sesame seeds and panko in small shallow tray with the salt.

Skewer the prawns then brush with egg white and toss in the sesame mixture. Repeat with remaining prawns. Note, if you’re using long skewers, you will need to trim them.

Half fill a wok with oil and heat to 180 degrees.

In batches, fry the coated prawns then drain on a wire rack set over a tray.

For the honey sauce, combine the honey and vinegar.

To make the green mango salad:

Place green mango, onion, herbs and chilli in a large bowl.

Mix fish sauce, vinegar, sugar and juice from half a lime until sugar has dissolved then pour over salad ingredients.

Serve prawn skewers with a drizzle of honey sauce, salad and lime.
