For prawns, add honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime rind and juice, and ginger in a bowl and mix well. Add prawns and stir to coat. Cover and chill for 20 minutes.
For the salsa, mix papaya, lime juice, coriander leaves, chilli and onion in a small bowl and set aside.
Thread prawns onto presoaked skewers (or metal ones) and cook over hot coals (or gas barbecue on high heat) 2-3 minutes: no longer, or they will go rubbery.
Serve with papaya salsa and lime wedges.
