These attractive-looking satays will usually vanish before anything else if you serve them as part of the fare for a barbecue party so be prepared for heavy demand. They are made with large whole prawns and smaller ones that are minced for the prawn paste; the ones that are to be cooked whole should I suggest, have their tails left on for appearance’s sake. They look better still in their whole shells, but it’s quite a sticky-fingered business getting the shells off after they’re grilled. T
