Method
To make the chermoula (marinade), grind all the ingredients (except the prawns) into a coarse puree in a food processor, then season with salt. Skewer each prawn on to a cocktail stick to keep it straight and place on a glass dish. Spoon the chermoula on, ensuring the prawns are well coated on all sides. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Arrange the prawns on a foil-lined grill tray and cook under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes each side, or until pink and cooked. Serve hot.
