If using wooden skewers, soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
Mix the olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, honey, lime zest and juice, coriander, chilli and season well. Pour it over the prawns and toss well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Thread 4 prawns and 1 lime wedge onto each skewer. Barbecue directly over a medium heat source for 2-3 minutes, turning halfway and brushing with any remaining marinade, until pink and tender. Serve with a tomato salad.
