Chili prawns are very tasty. Always better to do them on a barbecue but a hot fry pan is fine. This recipe is a favorite of mine.
No worries. Who doesn't like chili prawns?! Personally my favourite is garlic prawns ....oh how good are they!
I usually make garlic prawns but chili prawns have now been added to the list and I will be making them soon. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
No worries. Maybe some chili prawns might make it onto your Christmas menus this year. Key is not to go overboard with the chili....or have milk ready!
Prawns would have to be my favourite seafood.Thanks for the recipe. I have a hubpage coming up soon on a similar way to prepare prawns but learned from a Portugese lady from Mosambique in 1974. Shows you how great ideas stick!
So, it's chili prawns for our lunch next week end
Thanks!
No worries, I hope the masses like them. In Australia we enjoy chilli prawns with a beer on a hot day...any excuse for a beer really!
Looks like a nice recipe. I plan to test it shortly. Thanks.
No worries. Hopefully it inspires lots of people to try it. Might end up being a little side dish of chilli prawns at Christmas dinners this year!
