Spicy prawn & cucumber skewers

In a small bowl, whisk together the Japanese rice vinegar, honey and fine salt.

Using a vegetable peeler, pare long strips from the cucumber (you’ll need 12-14 strips in total, depending on the number of prawns). Toss the strips in the vinegar mixture; set aside for 10­ minutes. Lift the cucumber from the pickling liquor, gently squeeze out any excess liquid and put on kitchen paper.

One at a time, fold up a strip of cucumber like an accordion and thread onto a cocktail stick. Once all the cucumber is threaded, divide the ­prawns between the cocktail sticks. Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 2 hours.
