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.
