Method

1 Make the aïoli by mixing together the lime zest and juice and mayonnaise. Season, stir to mix well and chill.

2 Mix together garlic, chilli, oil and parsley. Season. Put prawns in a bowl and cover with the herb mixture. Marinate in fridge for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a barbecue or preheat a grill to the highest setting. Soak 4 wooden skewers in water to stop them burning during cooking.
