First up, thread the prawns onto soaked bamboo skewers. Place the salt, white pepper, Chinese five spice and black pepper in a small bowl, and combine. Sprinkle half the mixture evenly over the prawns.
To make the ginger-lime mayonnaise, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, ginger and coriander in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of hot water and stir to combine. Lightly spray the prawns with olive oil spray and cook on the grill for 2 minutes each side or until the prawns are lightly charred and cooked through.
Arrange the cucumber, chilli, if you're using it, spring onion curls and coriander on a serving platter. Top with prawns and sprinkle with the remaining salt mixture. Serve immediately with the ginger-lime mayonnaise.
