Grilled Prawns in Skewers

Sun Tropics® Mango Nectar, ginger, garlic, and mint combined with a touch of fish sauce create a delicious marinade! For perfectly tender prawns every time, always grill one and a half to two minutes on each side, until just opaque. If they stay on the grill much after they turn opaque, they begin to get dry and tough. But follow this recipe, & you’ll have perfect prawns, every time!
