Jenny White's Pesto Parma Prawn Skewers

The skewers can be made ahead and left to marinate. Make them up in the morning, cover with clingfilm and chill until needed

   Soak 4 wooden skewers in cold water for 20 minutes. Cut each slice of Parma ham into 4 pieces.
   Squeeze the lemon juice over the prawns. Thread a prawn onto a skewer, followed by a piece of ham and basil leaf, then repeat the process. Do this for all 4 skewers.
   Brush some of the pesto sauce over the prawns and ham and place on the grill or barbecue. Cook for 5-6 minutes, turning the skewers and brushing with a little more pesto once or twice during the cooking time, making sure the prawns &#8232,are pink and cooked through before serving.
   Scatter with the basil leaves and serve straight away.
