Make a very thick paste . Do not add more water and the consistency must be thicker ( when a finger dipped into the batter it should coat your finger).
Mix this thick batter with the marinated prawns very well.
For best results, the prawn must be fully covered with this thick flour batter.

Surf and Turf With Shrimp and Sausage Skewers#FishFriday

This is a combo of seafood and sausage. While this marriage of surf and turf, is not new, this combo skewers is paired with Merlot, a perfect cozy dinner.

Ingredients
2 Large Cooked Pork Sausages - cut into thick slices
For the Shrimp Marination
250 Grams Jumbo Shrimps/Prawns- peeled, tails on
¼ Teaspoon Turmeric
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
1 Teaspoon Red chilly powder
¼ Teaspoon Garam Masala powder
¼ Teaspoon Shahjeera/Caraway seeds- coarsely ground
1 Big Clove Garlic - grated
Salt to taste
1 - 2 Tablespoons Oil

Method

Mix all the ingredients for the marination well, then add the shrimp, and toss to coat well. Leave it in the refrigerator for 15 - 20 minutes.
In the Meanwhile let's get the sausage ready
In a large saucepan bring the water to a boil. Add the sausage slice, cook over high flame for 5 minutes or till they plum. Drain and pat dry. Let cool.

Take a wooden skewer, skewer thread in the tail end of the shrimps and then tuck in the sausage and the other end of the shrimp, the sausage should be tightly tucked between the shrimp. Like the same way tuck in another shrimp and sausage. In one skewer tuck two shrimps only.
Using more skewers, repeat with the remaining shrimp and sausage till all are skewered.

Heat a grill a pan with oil and place the skewers on it and cook on high flame for exactly 3 minutes on each side ( if you cook for more time the shrimps will be rubbery and not juicy) turning once or twice, until charred spots appear. 

Serve immediately on a bed of lettuce.

How I enjoyed these skewers, took a lettuce leaf added a sausage and shrimps in it

made a parcel and enjoyed with sip of wine.

They were a perfect combo..  a tasty appetizer.
