Choose from a classic pink Marie Rose / Thousand Island sauce, Tartare, Seafood Cocktail Sauce, a Thai Sweet Chilli Lime Sauce for something fresher (not everyone likes mayo!) or our Family Favourite Prawn Dipping Sauce, a cross between Marie Rose and Tartare with more freshness and flavour.

Garlic Prawns image

This is a great easy prawn marinade, they are great on the BBQ, we put them out as appetizers but they can also be a main course. I've also sauteed them with the marinade and used the sauce with pasta or just lapped it up with French bread! ENJOY.

Clean and devein the prawns properly. This will remove any grit or sand from the prawns and make them more enjoyable to eat.
Use a variety of cooking methods. Prawns can be boiled, steamed, fried, grilled, or baked. Each method will produce a different flavor and texture.
Don't overcook the prawns. Prawns cook quickly, so it's important to watch them carefully to avoid overcooking them. Overcooked prawns will become tough and rubbery.
Use a flavorful sauce. A good sauce can really elevate the flavor of your prawns. There are many different sauces that you can use, so experiment until you find one that you like.
Serve the prawns immediately. Prawns are best when served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are hot and juicy.
