Delicious and juicy prawns are perfect for quick meals.
Mexican Prawns
Description
I like to use the biggest prawns that I can find. In this recipe for great flavour, we have some citrusy notes from limes and a spicy kick from chilli flakes and it is a winning combination. Serve it with salad for low carb option or other sides of your choice.
