Lesson Learnt & Tips:
- These prawns can be prepared few hours before meal time, cover with kitchen wrap and store in fridge.
- Fresh Prawns shelf life in a refrigerator is 1-2 Days. For longer shelf life of 6-8 Months store in a Freezer. More info here.
- How to prepare the prawns? For ours we are keeping the head, shell, legs and tail on for presentation. To devein the prawn, use a kitchen scissor to cut the shell along the middle of the back. Then use a knife to make a long slit along the middle of the back to expose the dark vein. Pull out the vein. To have the butterfly prawn effect, give a deep cut along the back, open it out and press it down so that it's flat. Turn the prawns over and slit in between of all the prawns leg so it won't curl up during the grilling process.
