Tips and Tricks

Use fresh, high-quality prawns for the best flavor and texture.
Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the prawns to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Brush the prawns with the garlic and chili butter sauce before and after grilling for maximum flavor.
Serve the grilled prawns with lemon wedges for a tangy flavor.
