- When selecting the shrimp, make sure they are fresh and have not been previously frozen.
- For the coleslaw dressing, choose a light, low-fat variety.
- Instead of Vegemite, use miso paste. The benefit of this substitution is that miso paste is a fermented soybean paste which adds a unique umami flavor to the dish. It is also a healthier alternative to Vegemite.
- Instead of green prawns, use chicken. The benefit of this substitution is that it makes the dish more accessible to those who do not eat seafood. It also adds a different texture to the dish which can be a nice contrast to the crunchy slaw.
Vegetarian Variation Replace the prawns with firm tofu, cut into cubes. Marinate the tofu in the Vegemite mixture before threading onto the skewers. Grill the skewers on the barbecue for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and heated through.
Coconut Rice: A fragrant, fluffy, and delicious accompaniment to the Vegemite Asian Prawns with Green Slaw. The creamy coconut flavor pairs perfectly with the savory prawns and crunchy slaw, creating a balanced and flavorful meal.
Grilled Pineapple Salsa: This sweet and spicy salsa is the perfect complement to the Vegemite Asian Prawns with Green Slaw. The sweetness of the pineapple pairs perfectly with the savory prawns and crunchy slaw, while the heat of the jalapeno adds a nice kick to the dish. The salsa also adds a bright and colorful element to the plate.
