Ingredients

8 total
  • 250ml cider vinegar
  • 170g caster sugar
  • 140g okra, cut into 2.5 cm chunks
  • 2 tbsp cajun seasoning
  • 150g cooked and peeled king prawns
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 100g baby tomatoes, halved lengthways
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, sliced into 4 mm rounds

Method

5 steps

  1. Step 1

    Warm the vinegar in a small pan over a low heat and whisk in the sugar until dissolved (it doesn’t need 
to boil). Set aside to cool.

  2. Step 2

    Put the okra in a clean airtight container; cover with the vinegar mixture, pop the lid on and chill overnight.

  3. Step 3

    Scatter the cajun seasoning over a large plate. Dress the prawns in the lemon juice, then toss in the seasoning to coat.

  4. Step 4

    Take approx. 8 cocktail sticks and thread them in this order: a tomato half, 1 or 2 pieces of okra, a prawn and a jalapeño ring. Repeat until everything is used up.

  5. Step 5

    Recipe Tip: Allow extra time for the okra to pickle overnight.
