Prawn skewers with garlicky walnut tarator sause

Креветки замариновать полчаса в соке одного лайма/лимона, 2 зубчика чеснока, 1/2 teaspoon roasted and ground cumin seeds, 1/2 t. smoked paprika, salt.

For the sause:

2 slices of white or brown bread with crust off (I used whole grain with flax seeds)
freshly squeezed juice of 1–2 lemons
120 g/1 cup shelled and toasted walnuts (one can use almonds or pine nuts)
3 garlic gloves
1 teaspoon of cumin
3–4 T. of Olive oil
1 t. of dried chilli flakes
1 small bunch of coriander/cilantro, finely chopped
salt and black pepper

Soak the bread in lemon juice. Grind the walnuts until they resemble sugar crystals. Add soaked bread, garlic and cumin, pounding the mixture to a paste, then drizzle in the olive oil, beating all the time, until the mixture is thick and creamy. Beat in the chilli and cilantro, season with salt and pepper.
