Mini-skewers with prawn and melon with balsamic are a surprisingly sweet-savoury snack that tastes fresh on the tongue. The combination of juicy cantaloupe melon and firm prawn, finished with balsamic glaze, mint and basil, delivers a refined snack that stands out immediately on the snack table. Light, colourful and just that bit different from the rest.

In Phase 4 of a protein diet, it's all about a healthy balance, and these skewers fit nicely into that. The prawns deliver lean, high-quality protein that supports your muscles and contributes to your satisfaction, whilst the melon provides fresh, natural carbohydrates and a juicy sweetness. That balanced combination of protein and light carbohydrates makes it a high-protein snack that fits with maintaining your results in this phase.

Lovely with a fresh cucumber salad, some rocket or a thin slice of raw ham alongside for extra savoury depth. Also delicious as a refreshing starter on a warm day.

Zo maak je het

  1. Fry the prawns briefly in the olive oil for about 4 minutes until cooked.
  2. Drizzle the prawns with lime juice and let them cool slightly.
  3. Thread a melon cube and a prawn alternately onto small sticks.
  4. Arrange the skewers on a platter and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
  5. Sprinkle with the finely chopped mint and basil and serve fresh.

Bewaren

Cook and cool the prawns beforehand, but insert the skewers and drizzle the balsamic just before serving so everything stays fresh. Store the loose components covered in the fridge and use them within one day.

Variatietips

Replace the melon with watermelon or mango for a different sweet note. Some finely chopped red chilli or a splash of lime gives the skewers a spicy, refreshing twist.
