I will be very honest with you, this was more an experiment than a targeted cooking. I’ve never cooked (actually never held in my hands) a whole prawn, meaning like with head, legs, and those long antennas. For me, it was always too yucky π In the past, I also cooked only the frozen ones which were already cleaned and even parboiled. But sometimes you just have to risk it and try out something completely new π So I bought the tiger prawns in the supermarket, cleaned them properly and cooked just by using myΒ creativity. Nothing complicated, just a simple recipe and a couple of ingredients.Β And probably that’sΒ the reason why they turned out so well π Simplicity.
So if you are not afraid of touching the tiger prawns this recipe is perfect for you. Have fun cooking and enjoy π
*Important note: Make sure you clean the inside of the prawns properly. No s**t leftovers are allowedΒ in your food π
