Lucinda Hamilton creates some barbecue dishes with a Thai twist

  1. Combine ingredients, except the prawns. Mix until blended.
  2. Wash and dry the prawns before adding them to the marinade and toss to make sure all the prawns are covered.
  3. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge, or overnight.
  4. When the barbecue is ready, skewer the prawns and grill for a couple of minutes each side until they are nicely orange-coloured. You can baste them with the left-over marinade sauce whilst they are cooking, too.
