  I loved this recipe. It was so simple but very tasty. Would be great on a buffet. Needs an accompaniment as they are slightly on the dry side on their own. I served mine with sweet chilli sauce which worked well but maybe a yoghurt and mint dressing would be more authentic.

  I served this as a starter at the weekend and it was delicious! I marinated the prawns all day, adding chilli and leaving out the mint.

  This was lovely much better than the prawns cooked in garlic oil. Lighter & fresher, I added a chopped birds eye chilli and it was delicious, served with a well cooked rib eye and avacado salad yum!

  An excellent starter! Like others before me I added a little chilli to taste and they went down really well.
