Moroccan Spicy Prawns
The other day when I bought prawns, D promptly put up his request. “Mama, please make Stir Fried Prawns. You know how much I love it. ” I was so looking forward to try out some new recipe. D’s request put me in a spot. After racking my brains for a while, I zeroed in on Moroccan Spicy Prawns. It is pretty much similar to D’s favourite dish and easy to make as well. I got the recipe from About.com. Though I took the ingredients as per the recipe, I prepared it in my own way. To tell you the truth, I was a bit worried whether D will like it. Fortunately he loved it and was begging for more. There…another successful experiment. 🙂
I would recommend marinating the prawns for at least for an hour for better results. Also you can use Kashmiri chilli powder instead of paprika and cayenne
