These grilled prawns with spicy tamarind dipping sauce offer a vibrant explosion of Southeast Asian flavours, balancing the tartness of tamarind with a gentle heat from red pepper flakes. Using jumbo prawns ensures a meaty, satisfying texture that stands up well to the high heat of the grill. This dish is naturally light, making it a sophisticated choice for an outdoor summer lunch or an impressive dinner party appetiser.
As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this dish focuses on lean protein and bold aromatics rather than heavy fats or excessive sugars. The sauce provides a savoury depth that perfectly complements the charred sweetness of the seafood. Serve these skewers alongside a crisp green salad or some steamed pak choi for a nutritious, low-carbohydrate meal that is as healthy as it is delicious.
