Sesame prawn skewers with borlotti bean and snow pea salad

Instructions

1 Soak skewers in cold water for 20 minutes. Place prawns, olive oil and chilli flakes (if using) in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Thread prawns onto skewers and set aside for 5 minutes.

2 Immerse snow peas in boiling water to blanch until just tender. Refresh in cold water, drain well and transfer to a large bowl.

3 Use a vegetable peeler to cut long ribbons from cucumbers and carrot, stopping at cucumber seeds. Add cucumber, carrot and beans to snow pea bowl to make salad. Whisk soy sauce, mirin and sesame oil in a small bowl; add to salad and lightly toss.

4 Preheat a grill pan or barbecue hotplate to high. Grill reserved prawn skewers for 2 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and just cooked through.

5 Sprinkle skewers with sesame seeds and serve with salad.
