If you want to make a tasty healthy salad with these prawns, they can be removed from their skewers after cooking and then and tossed with mango, avocado and cherry tomatoes, with a dressing of natural yoghurt mixed with the heated marinade. Serve with jacket potatoes or garlic bread. If using smaller prawns, double the quantity to four dozen.
