Ingredients

1.5 pound prawn (large, peeled, deveined)
3 clove garlic (minced)
1 fresh ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
0.25 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
2 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
8 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
1 bunch radish (thinly sliced)
1 English cucumber (large, thinly sliced or spiraled)
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
0.25 cup fresh mint (chopped)
1 red onion (small, very thinly sliced)
2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 pinch salt

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the peeled prawns with minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the salad and preheat the grill.
Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated prawns onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Prepare the radish salad: In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced radishes, English cucumber, chopped fresh cilantro, chopped fresh mint, and very thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a pinch of salt to create the dressing. Pour over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Grill the prawn skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the prawns are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
Serve the grilled garlic-lime prawn skewers immediately with the crunchy radish salad on the side.

Notes

Prawns cook quickly, so watch them closely to avoid a rubbery texture. You can prep the salad components ahead of time and dress just before serving.
