Tips:
- Use the freshest king prawns or giant shrimp available. Fresh seafood will have a sweeter flavor and a firmer texture.
- Make sure to devein the prawns or shrimp before cooking. This will remove the digestive tract and any grit or sand that may be present.
- To properly flambé the prawns or shrimp, heat the whisky in a large skillet until it is just simmering. Then, carefully add the prawns or shrimp to the skillet and tilt it so that the whisky catches fire. Be careful not to let the flames get too high, as this could burn the prawns or shrimp.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the prawns or shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve the prawns or shrimp immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and juicy.
