This prawn dish is packed with flavour and incredibly easy to make. Despite the short list of ingredients, it's sure to impress. Before coating the prawns with the spices, it's crucial to pat them dry to ensure they brown properly in the fry pan. This is the trick to achieving a deliciously crispy texture.
