Sugarcane Prawns

These vibrant sugarcane prawns are a sophisticated take on a tropical classic, offering a perfect balance of zesty lime, savoury soy, and a subtle warmth from Jamaican rum. By using sugarcane skewers, the natural sweetness infuses into the seafood as it grills, perfectly complementing the charred pineapple chunks. It is a light, fragrant dish that brings a taste of the Caribbean to your kitchen while remaining impressively simple to prepare.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on high-quality protein and fresh fruit rather than refined sugars. The combination of prawns and pineapple provides a nutritious, low-fat meal that is naturally satisfying. Serve these skewers as a fresh summer starter or pair them with a crisp green salad and brown rice for a wholesome, heart-healthy main course.
