We made 6 sticks with 5 prawns on each stick. This will vary depending on the size of the prawn.

Decide any of the following ways to cook your tandoori prawns recipe.

PAN/GRIDDLE:
Spray pan with Spray oil, cook prawns for 3 minutes on each side.
AIR FRYER:
Preheat to 200°C/400°F, spray with oil and air fry for about 8 minutes. No need to turn halfway through.
OVEN:
Spray a foiled tray with oil and cook in a preheated oven at 180°C Fan / 200°C Conventional, 400°F / Gas mark 6 for about 12-15 minutes turning halfway through cooking time.
BBQ / Grill: spray grill plates with oil and cook for 3 minutes on each side.
Always check the prawn is cooked through.
Sprinkle 1 tbsp Chopped Coriander on top.
Serve with salad and a wedge of lemon. Or with rice or in a wrap!?
