Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 16 peeled and deveined large prawns and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

- Step 3: Grill the prawn skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred.
- Step 4: During the last minute of grilling, brush each skewer generously with 1/2 cup bush tomato chutney to glaze, allowing the chutney to caramelize slightly.
- Step 5: Remove from grill and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the top. Serve immediately with extra chutney on the side for dipping.
