  these were lovely, made my husband do the fiddly de-veining, takes ages but well worth the effort.

  I have made these several times and cooked both on the barbeque, in a pan and under the grill. They are delicious whichever way they are cooked. Wonderful marinade with subtle flavours. Use the biggest raw prawns you can find as they are really 'meaty'. I have grown up daughters who would never touch shellfish until I persuaded them to try these. Now they all cook them even the youngest who normally lives on junk food. A real treat and well worth the preparation for the marinade.

  Used cooked prawns as the supermarket didn't stock raw ones so I just marinaded them and then used the sauce for noodles. It was gorgeous!

  I have used this recipe many times - it is absolutely delicious. I always serve it with the Mango & Cucumber Salsa that was originally published with it (Good Food - June 2003). Unfortunately, this recipe is not on the web site! Come on, Good Food, put it up here!
