Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the prawns. This will help to prevent overcrowding and ensure that the prawns cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the prawns. This will help to sear the prawns and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the prawns with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
  • Cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Do not overcook the prawns, as this will make them tough.
  • Serve the prawns immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include garlic butter, cocktail sauce, and tartar sauce.
