Notes

Always choose fresh prawns for the best flavor. Look for firm, translucent flesh and a mild ocean scent.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days, or freeze uncooked marinated prawns for up to three months.
To elevate flavors, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes for a slight kick. Serve with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal!
