For salsa, combine tomatoes, avocado, spring onion, chilli, coriander, garlic, lime juice and oil in a bowl and season with salt and pepper (you may make this upto 3 hours in advance. Cover tightly with cling film and refrigerate).
You will need 4 wooden skewers soaked in water for atleast 20 minutes to stop them from burning.
In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, paprika, chilli powder, lime juice and salt.
Add in the prawns and toss to coat evenly.
Thread 5 prawns onto each skewer, cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes (you may marinate the prawns upto 2 hours in advance).
Pre-heat indoor grill to medium-hot, or for outdoor grills, medium-hot coals.
Grill the prawns until they are pink and the flesh is opaque, about 3 minutes on each side.
Serve hot with salsa and/or grilled lime wedges.
