A delicious, sweet and spicy Moroccan dish
The honey and paprika makes for a tasty combination and works really well with prawns and scallops. This dish goes well with some couscous as a main or can be served as a starter. The prep time below includes marinating time- but the dish itself doesn’t take too long to cook.

Ingredients

- 6 raw tiger prawns

We served two king prawns and five scallops each. We served this as a main dish with a vegetable tagine as an accompaniment- but feel free to use more or less seafood as you prefer.
If using wooden skewers, soak these in water for some time before threading the seafood.
We used tiger prawns for this dish as they are bigger than king prawns- but feel free to use king prawns and use a few more.

Cook the skewers on high heat for around 5 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
