35 minutes
45 minutes, including 30 minutes for marinating (excludes time for peeling and cleaning prawns)
Method: 
  1. Stir Kikkoman Sesame, Ginger & Soy Marinade and Sauce and honey in a small saucepan over low heat to combine, cool completely then combine with prawns in a bowl, cover and refrigerate to marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Drain prawns from marinade and thread onto metal skewers, starting with a prawn, then a mushroom half, then a piece of spring onion, repeating once more, then finishing with a prawn. Cover and refrigerate until required.
  3. To make quick pickled cucumber, combine ingredients and sea salt to taste in a bowl and stand until lightly pickled (15 minutes).
  4. Heat a char-grill or barbeque to high heat. Drizzle prawn skewers with oil and cook, turning occasionally, until slightly charred and cooked through (3-4 minutes).
  5. Serve hot, drizzled with extra Kikkoman Sesame, Ginger & Soy Marinade and Sauce, scattered with roasted sesame seeds, with steamed rice.
