Mexican Achiote Prawns with Mango & Lime Sauce

Achiote is an important Mexican seasoning combining herbs, spices and garlic; annatto seeds are commonly used for their intense natural red colouring, and also add a mild, peppery and earthy flavour to food. This is a perfect dish for any barbecue and also works well with chicken or pork. The paste and sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead.

Instructions

Place all dry spices in a spice blender or mill and grind until fine – the allspice berries will take a while to break down. Add garlic, vinegar and oil and mix to a paste.
Thoroughly coat prawns in achiote and leave to marinate if possible. Thread 5 prawns onto wooden or metals skewers with the prawns in a ‘C’ shape with tail facing the same way on all.
For mango sauce, blitz mango, lime and coriander together and season to taste.
Heat a bbq or grill to high and cook skewers for 2 minutes each side, or until prawns are opaque.
