Rum and Honey Prawn and Avocado Skewers

Jules is home at the moment, so I reckon the three of us watching Death in Paradise together is reason enough to throw a little Caribbean Feast, especially when Sergeant Naomi Thomas is returning on her home island of St. Barnabas for her best friend’s wedding! And these Rum and Honey Prawn and Avocado Skewers are a delicious way to start the celebrations!

Ingredients (serves 3):

half-a-thumb piece fresh ginger

1/2 lime

1 heaped teaspoon honey

1 tablespoon Ginger and Lime Rum

15 beautiful prawns, steamed and cooled

1 ripe avocado

Peel ginger. Finely grate ginger, and spoon into a bowl. Grate in the zest of the lime halve, and thoroughly squeeze in its juice. Add honey and Ginger and Lime Rum.

Peel prawns and add them to the bowl. Toss well, with clean hands, to coat in ginger, lime, honey and Rum.

Place the bowl in the refrigerator, and allow prawns to marinate, at least a couple of hours (the longer, the better!), tossing them every now and then.

Peel and halve avocado. Cut its flesh into large enough dices.

Arrange a Rum and honey prawn and an avocado dice onto each of fifteen skewers, and place them onto serving tray. Chill until serving time.

Serve Rum and Honey Prawn and Avocado Skewers alongside Féroce d'Avocat, Fried Plantain, and Accras de Morue, and chilled Planters Punch or Queens Park Swizzles!
