Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, caster sugar, and reduced soy sauce until the sugar dissolves.
Soak 12 bamboo skewers in cold water for about 10 minutes.
Thread the prawns onto the soaked skewers and spray with peanut oil.
On a serving platter, arrange cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, green onions, coriander, mint, chilies, peanuts, and snow pea tendrils.
Preheat the grill to medium-high.
Grill prawn skewers for 4-5 minutes, turning until pink and opaque.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.

Notes

Make sure to soak the bamboo skewers to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Adjust the chilies based on your preferred spice level.
This dish can be served as a light meal or as an appetizer.
