How to make Grilled Prawns Satay with Peaches and Bok Choy

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Whisk first 5 ingredients and 5 tablespoons nectar until smooth; season sauce with pepper.

Arrange peaches, prawns, and bok choy on grill. Brush with 60ml nectar; brush lightly with 60ml sauce. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until peaches are slightly charred, prawns are just opaque in centre, and bok choy halves are just tender, about 2 minutes per side for peaches and 3 minutes per side for prawns and bok choy.

Mound prawns, bok choy, and peaches on platter. Drizzle with some sauce. Serve with remaining sauce.
