Prawn Recipe

Prawn recipes are a favorite with a wide range of people hailing from different countries. Sea food is nutritious as well as tasty. Great care 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.
