Grilled Prawns with Molasses-Guava Glaze

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.
