Notes

  • If using smaller shrimp I suggest moving the rack to the top third of the oven and then broil until bubbly, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • If using frozen prawns, make sure they are fully thawed before making this recipe. Either thaw them in a plastic bag emerged in cold water, or place them in a bowl, covered, overnight in the fridge.
