Ingredients

500gr king prawns, peeled
1 large fresh pinapple, diced (in cubes of approx 3cm length)
[for the marinade:]
15cl freshly squeezed orange juice (not from a bottle!)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Prepare the marinade first, by mixing all the above ingredients in a bowl; then soak the prawns in it for 2 hours at least. Then create the skewers by alternating one prawn and one pineapple cube - use about 4-5 pineapple cubes per skewer, and add the rest to the marinade.

Place the marinade with the pineapple in a large shallow pan, and let it evaporate on low heat for 10/15 minutes, until it becomes more dense and gravy-like.

Lightly grill the skewers, salt and pepper to taste, and serve them with this sauce on the side.
