Sweet pineapple and smoky seasoning are brilliant partners, especially when paired with juicy king prawns. These colourful skewers use our BBQ Beasty Spice Blend to create caramelised barbecue flavour in just a few minutes.

They are light enough for a warm evening but still feel special, and you can cook them outside, under the grill or on a hot griddle pan.

🧾 Ingredients

• 400g raw peeled king prawns, tails left on
• 300g fresh pineapple, cut into bite-sized chunks
• 1½ tbsp BBQ Beasty Spice Blend
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lime
• 1 tsp runny honey
• 8 wooden or metal skewers
• Cooked rice or salad, to serve

🍴 Instructions

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for 20 minutes.
2. Pat the prawns dry. Mix the BBQ Beasty Spice Blend, oil, honey, finely grated lime zest and half the lime juice.
3. Add the prawns and pineapple and turn gently to coat.
4. Thread the prawns and pineapple alternately onto the skewers without packing them too tightly.
5. Cook on a hot barbecue, under a high grill or on a griddle for 2–3 minutes per side, until the prawns are opaque and the pineapple is lightly caramelised.
6. Finish with the remaining lime juice and serve straight away.

💛 Why This Recipe Works

Prawns cook quickly, so small pineapple pieces caramelise at the same pace. Lime keeps the smoky-sweet flavour lively rather than heavy.
