Notes
1. The preparation time of this recipe does not account for deveining of prawns. If you wish to devein, add about 10 minutes to the prep time. To devein prawns with the skin on, I like to use the toothpick method. 2. Prawn cooking time is dependent on size. Medium-sized prawns take 3 - 4 minutes, large prawns 5 - 7 minutes.
