Ingredients
  • 16 prawns
  • 2 peaches
  • Prosciutto di Parma, sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
  • 1 teaspoon mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoons chives
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
Instructions

Soak wooden skewers in water, about 10 minutes.

Clean the prawns and leave the tails on.

Wash and dry the peaches and cut into wedges. Wrap the peach wedges with slices of Prosciutto di Parma.

Thread a peach wedge, a prawn, and then another peach wedge onto toothpicks. Prepare the kebabs until all the ingredients are used up.

Grill the kebabs on a hot grill; season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove from grill when prawns are fully cooked.

Whisk mint and olive oil; drizzle over kebabs. Chop the chives and mix into the Greek yogurt.

To serve, on 4 plates place 2 kebabs on each with 2 heaping tablespoons of the Greek yogurt and chive mixture. Serve kebabs warm.
