These Black Garlic Prawn Skewers bring together succulent prawns marinated in a flavorful blend of olive oil, salt, pepper, and savory black garlic paste. The black garlic imparts a deep, slightly sweet umami flavor, perfectly complementing the natural sweetness of the prawns. Quickly grilled on the barbecue, the prawns develop a beautiful char while staying tender and juicy. Paired with a zesty yogurt dipping sauce featuring fresh coriander, smoked paprika, and lemon juice, these skewers offer a delightful contrast of smoky, tangy, and creamy elements. Garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges, they make a stunning appetizer or light main course, ideal for summer gatherings or special occasions.
