grilled tiger prawns with hunan sauce
You can put the prawns on skewers or cook them in a grill basket if your grill has large openings between rows. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to keep them from burning. NOTE: You can use a mix of fresh herbs, depending on your tastes, i.e. fresh mint, basil, etc.
