How to clean Prawns?
Any type of prawn would suit for this recipe but, the big Tiger Prawn needs few more minutes to get well marinated. For this recipe I have used medium size prawn and it barely needs few minutes for marination. Firstly, remove shell and wash well. Secondly, devein (a thin intestinal black tract present at the bottom) by making a small incision and remove the intestine. Some prefer to cook with shell without deveining but ,I learn to clean when I was young enough to handle with a knife. So, for me it is an easy process to clean the prawns if the quantity is less. More quantity makes me tiresome and of course it takes more time too.
