Tips:
- Use fresh prawns: Fresh prawns have a sweeter and more delicate flavor than frozen prawns. If you're using frozen prawns, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
- Clean the prawns properly: Remove the heads, shells, and veins from the prawns. Make sure to devein the prawns to remove the gritty sand vein that runs along the back of the prawn.
- Marinate the prawns: Marinating the prawns in a mixture of spices and herbs will help to infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or a more complex marinade made with yogurt, ginger, and spices.
- Cook the prawns quickly: Prawns cook very quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked prawns become tough and rubbery. Cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
- Serve the prawns immediately: Prawns are best served immediately after cooking. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, or salad.
