2 Zest of limes
2 red chillies, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
600g whole raw Madagascan tiger prawns, shell on
25g butter, melted
Lime wedges to serve

Combine the lime zest, chillies, garlic, fish sauce and olive oil in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Peel the middle sections of the shells from the prawns, leaving the heads and tails intact, and de-vein. Add the prawns to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the barbecue or grill to a high heat. Thread the prawns on to skewers then grill for 3-4 minutes. Turn, brush with the melted butter, and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and brush with any remaining butter. Serve with lime wedges.
