3 Cloves garlic; chopped
1 Fresh medium to hot green or red chilli; (or to taste), chopped

Grate the rind of the orange and one of the limes, then squeeze the juice. Combine the juices and grated rind with the garlic, fresh chilli, mild chilli powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt and olive oil. Mix with the prawns and marinate for 30 minutes to one hour.
