Notes

Fresh prawns are key to the best flavor; purchase from a trusted source. Avoid overcooking the prawns; they should be pink and slightly firm. Experiment with spices for additional flavor; smoked paprika or red pepper flakes work well. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a skillet. For lighter options, consider steaming the prawns or substituting butter with olive oil.
