Drizzle with half of the olive oil and transfer to oven.

Pour into a large shallow bowl, making sure you don't lose all the bits of onion, garlic and ginger, and take immediately to the table.
SPICED PRAWNS
Friendly on the waistline! Finger food or a main dish served with noodles/rice and vegetables, a simple but very tasty dish. If you can't get lemon grass or lime leaves, the best substitute I can think of is to use grated lime zest. Marinating time not included.

EGYPTIAN SPICED PRAWNS
A delicious blend of flavors, these prawns are not spicy hot, as my toddler was able to eat them just fine. The cumin really stands out in this dish but not overpoweringly. I found the original version of this recipe on Recipes4us.co.uk & made alterations in ingredients to suit our tastes. :)

Steps:
- Heat the oil and add the onion slices, frying gently until soft and golden. Add all spices and garlic and heat through a few minutes.
- Now add prawns, stirring around to coat evenly with spice mixture. Add the tomatoes and some S+P, bringing to a simmer and cooking 20-25 minutes, uncovered, which will rake off a lot of water and reduce the tomato to a sauce.
- Serve with rice or pasta.
Tips:
- Use fresh prawns: Fresh prawns have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen prawns. If using frozen prawns, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Marinate the prawns: Marinating the prawns in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to enhance their flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Cook the prawns properly: Prawns are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. The best way to cook them is to quickly sear them over high heat until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the prawns immediately: Prawns are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack.
