Tips for Making Perfect Sesame Prawn Shrimp Skewers:

- Use fresh, large prawns or shrimp for the best flavor and texture. - Devein and peel the prawns, leaving the tails intact for a more elegant presentation. - Marinate the prawns in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes to infuse them with flavor. - Use wooden or metal skewers for grilling. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning. - Thread the prawns onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each prawn for even cooking. - Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the prawns are cooked through and slightly charred. - Baste the skewers with the remaining marinade while grilling for added flavor. - Serve the skewers immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet chili sauce or a simple soy-ginger sauce.

With their sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavor, these skewers are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
