Method
Preheat the grill.
Thread 4 skewers alternately with prawns, mushrooms, peppers and courgette.
To make the marinade, mix all the ingredients together, except the cornflour.
Lay the kebabs in a shallow dish, pour over the marinade.  Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours in a cool place.
Cook under a medium grill for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently.
In a saucepan, mix the cornflour to a paste with a little of the cold marinade; add remaining marinade and any cooking juices.
Bring to the boil stirring all the time, until the sauce has thickened.  Serve with the kebabs.
