Simply have your skewers ready and potato salad in the fridge - ready for your appetite!

Shopping list.
For the king prawn skewers 
♥ 200g raw king prawns
♥ 1 tbsp sesame oil
♥  2 tsp peanut butter
 1 tbsp Lee Kum Kee premium oyster sauce
♥ 1 tbsp mixed sesame seeds
♥ 8 bamboo skewers

For the Chinese style potato salad 
♥ 100g new potatoes, chopped
♥ 8-10 tenderstem broccoli stalks
♥ 2 pak chois, finely chopped
♥ One fresh red chilli
♥ One red pepper, deseeded and chopped
♥ 3 spring onions
♥ 2 finely chopped
♥ 1 tbsp Lee Kum Kee oriental sesame dressing
♥ 1 tbsp mayonaise

For those of you who aren't familiar, the LKK oriental sesame dressing is a blend of soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, garlic and chilli, making it perfect for adding a Chinese twist to your recipes.

Step one. Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to soften.

Step two. Marinade the king prawns, thread onto the skewers and scatter with sesame seeds.


Step three. Boil the potatoes in a large saucepan in salted water.

Step four. After 5 minutes, add in the broccoli and pak choi. Boil for a further 5-7 minutes.

Step five. Meanwhile, slice up your third spring onion and the chilli at a diagonal.

Step six. When the potatoes and veg are cooked, toss together with the red pepper and spring onions. Stir through the sesame dressing and mayo and scatter with the chilli and spring onion. Set aside or keep in the fridge for later. If you really can't find the dressing - stir through soy sauce with the mayo instead.

When you're ready to go - fire up the BBQ!


Step seven. Barbecue your skewers for 5 minutes, or a little longer until the prawn are completely pink and cooked through.


Step eight. Serve the skewers on top of the potato salad.
