Method
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lime zest, and juice with the chopped coriander, chilli flakes, and minced garlic.
Add the prawns and pineapple and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes.
Alternate threading the marinated prawns and pineapple chunks onto skewers.
Preheat a grill or griddle pan over medium-high heat and cook the skewers for 2–3 minutes per side until the prawns are pink and lightly charred.
Combine the coconut milk, spicy sweet chilli sauce, and lime peel in a small pan.
Simmer on low heat until the sauce is glossy and slightly reduced, about 3–5 minutes.
Warm the Deli Kitchen Lebanese flatbreads according to packet instructions.
Remove prawns and pineapple chunks from the skewers.
Fill the flatbread with prawns, pineapple, and garnish with shredded cucumber, carrot, fresh mint, coriander, and slices of red and green chilli.
Drizzle over extra sauce, add a squeeze of lime, and serve immediately.
