Delicious Prawn Recipe

carPrawn recipes are a favorite with a wide range of people hailing from different countries. Seafood is nutritious as well as tasty. Great e has to be taken while cleaning the prawns. After removing the thick outer shell, use a knife to make a slit down the middle of the curved tail and pull out the dark-colored vein. After removing the vein, rinse well the prawns and drain them. While cooking prawns, ensure that the prawns are not over-cooked which will otherwise make the prawns tough and flavorless. When a prawn recipe is done, the prawns will turn orange in color.
