Healthy Christmas Entree: Prawns & Asparagus with Basil Aioli


Barbecued prawns are a healthy favourite for an Aussie Chrissy lunch, and taste great when topped with a zesty creamy dressing.

Serves: 10
Time to prep: 20 minutes
Time to cook: 10 minutes

Equipment
  • You'll need to soak 40 bamboo skewers in water for 15 minutes.
Ingredients
  • 1.5kg (about 40) medium green prawns, peeled leaving tails intact, deveined
  • 5 bunches asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 2 lemons, rind finely grated, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Olive oil spray
  • Small basil leaves, to serve
Basil aioli
  • 170g (2/3 cup) 97 per cent fat-free mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Method
  • Place the prawns and asparagus in separate shallow glass or ceramic dishes. Whisk together the lemon rind, lemon juice and oil in a jug. Season with pepper. Divide among the dishes. Toss to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 1-4 hours to marinate.
  • Meanwhile, to make the basil aioli, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic and basil in a bowl. Season with pepper. For a thinner consistency, if desired, gradually add 1-2 tablespoons cold water, whisking until smooth and well combined.
  • Drain the prawns. Thread, tail-end first, onto the skewers.
  • Drain the asparagus. Preheat a chargrill or barbecue grill on high. Spray the prawns and asparagus with olive oil spray to lightly grease. Cook the prawns and asparagus on grill, turning once, for 5-6 minutes or until the prawns change colour and the asparagus is bright green and tender crisp.
  • Divide the asparagus and prawn skewers among serving plates. Season with pepper. Drizzle over the basil aioli and top with the basil leaves to serve.

Mint & Piri Piri Chicken Skewers


This easy and tasty recipe is perfect to whip-up on those hot Summer days!

Serves: 4
Time to prep: 15 minutes
Time to cook: 10 minutes

Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
  • 3 teaspoons piri piri seasoning
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • Olive oil, to grease
  • Low-fat natural yoghurt, to serve
Method
  • Combine the mint, piri piri seasoning and garlic in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss until well coated.
