1. About a week before this meal is to be cooked, buy 2kg giant prawns fresh from the market.

2. Wash them throughly and then dry them.

  1. I LOVE prawns. Do you just bake them with all their feelers? And then peel them after they are baked? Isn't that difficult when they are hot or do you eat them cold?

    1. I LOVE prawns too! I baked them with their shells. We peeled them when we ate them. We ate them cold. And sucked the succulent heads to the heavens!!!! YUMMY!!!!!
