1 lemon
8 red chilies
4 garlic cloves roughly chopped

1
In a food processor, combine oil, herbs, zest, juice, chilies, garlic, and ginger. Process to a smooth paste. Season to taste.
2
In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 of the paste with shrimp. Place the remaining paste in a serving bowl. Marinate shrimp for at least 30 minutes.
3
Thread 3-4 prawns onto 2 skewers (through head and tail), so you can use skewers as handles to turn shrimp.
