Every mouthful of these succulent prawns is a total taste sensation. The rich tomato sauce, fragrant lemongrass, and spicy chilli strike the perfect balance between heat and flavor. And what is better is that it takes less than 15 minutes.
Prawns are sold cooked as well as raw. The raw ones which still contain the shell will have a better flavor than those without shells.
