These grilled prawns with molasses-guava glaze offer a sophisticated twist on classic barbecue seafood. The combination of rich molasses and tropical guava jam creates a sticky, vibrant glaze that caramelises beautifully over a hot flame, while the addition of fresh lime peel provides a necessary zesty lift. This high-protein dish is as visually impressive as it is delicious, making it a reliable choice for summer entertaining or a light, nutritious midweek dinner.

As a versatile high-protein option, these skewers are perfect served alongside a crisp green salad or nestled on a bed of fluffy jasmine rice. If you are planning ahead, both the prawns and the glaze can be prepared up to eight hours in advance and kept chilled in the fridge. This makes the final cooking process incredibly quick, allowing you to serve up a fresh, homemade feast in less than five minutes at the grill.

Ingredients for Grilled Prawns with Molasses-Guava Glaze

90ml mild-flavoured (light) molasses
45ml guava or apricot jam
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons finely grated lime peel
32 uncooked medium prawns, peeled, deveined
Sal marina fina
8 metal skewers or 8 wooden skewers soaked in water at least 1 hour

How to make Grilled Prawns with Molasses-Guava Glaze

Microwave first 3 ingredients in medium bowl until jam and butter melt, about 20 seconds. Stir to blend. Stir lime peel into glaze. Thread 4 prawns onto each skewer. DO AHEAD: Glaze and prawns can be made 8 hours ahead.

Cover separately and chill. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle prawns with sea salt. Place 45ml glaze in bowl; set aside. Brush prawns with some of remaining glaze. Grill prawns until just opaque in centre, brushing occasionally with glaze, about 2 minutes per side. Drizzle with reserved glaze and serve.
