Cajun Prawn Skewers With a Creamy Avocado Sauce

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"I made this the other night, as hubby was not well and I just wanted something quick and easy that tasted good and was light. This was all of that and I really enjoyed my meal, as I made this for one I have adjusted the ingredients so it would be fine for two. The avocado cream will be too much, but this will keep in the fridge for a few days, this can't be helped as you need to use a whole avocado so along with the other ingredients you end up with just over a cup. I really liked the sauce and thought all the ingredients went well together, I made with stated ingredients and so had left overs and just used it up over the following days. I have listed ingredients so it will serve 2 people, 2 skewers each, 5 prawns to a skewer, so do adjust if you want to make more."
