Tip:
– Make sure you get the fresh raw king prawns if possible.
-Caramelised prawns have got a crisp shell. So Thais tended to eat the whole body of these prawns.
-Keep an eye on the pan while cooking this dish as it has got a lot of sugar which easily burnt.
-It is my personal preference to garnish with chopped coriander and a squeeze of lemon.
-I always encourage everyone to use a high-grade Thai seasoning.Happy cooking.??
