Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the Vegemite, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and finely chopped lemongrass to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the prawns in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

While the prawns are marinating, prepare the green slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped kale, julienned carrot, and chopped cilantro.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the slaw dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the green slaw and toss well to combine. Set aside for the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated prawns for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through.

Step 7

Serve the Vegemite-infused prawns on a platter alongside the refreshing green slaw. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired and enjoy!
