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.

How to store sliced garlic for a longer period?

Prepping meals after a tiring day of work, is always great for it to be quick & easy. For me is the garlic that make me lazy . One will have to peel them then slice them up nicely. It gets worst when your hand stinks after the process!


Tip 1 Remember... Garlic SMELLSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! It stinks up your fridge. What i used is a Daiso bought Tea storage box. It has a double layer cover to lock the garlic smell in.


Tip 2 Garlic can dry out or spoil if kept naturally. Pre-sliced a whole bottle, pour sufficient vegetable oil to slightly cover the garlic, then slightly mix it up. Place it in the fridge.

Since we have been cooking ALOT lately.. A bottle like that normally finishes up in 2 weeks or more.


Hope this tips help. Cut down your meal prepartion time that drains out all the efforts you normally spend on garlic. This will be better off then supermarket's pre-packed garlic that are sliced or fried. That i some of my friend introduced me to buy since I've been complaining about garlic prep.
