Make yummy prawns this season
With winter coming in most of us Indians love our fish and prawns in this season. Now North Indians eat sea food or fish wholly in the winter months. So there is nothing like a bit of fish and prawns to keep the chill away.
Prawns are quite delicate and super easy to cook, usually cooking time of prawns is between 5-10 minutes. And there is nothing more delicious and a simple salt and pepper prawns. So we got the Chef Lee Tuck Sang at The Royal China, Delhi to share his popular recipe with us:
