Tips:

  • Select large, fresh prawns: Look for prawns that are firm and have a slight translucency to them. Avoid prawns that are discoloured or have a slimy texture.
  • Properly devein the prawns: Deveining removes the digestive tract of the prawn, resulting in a cleaner and more flavorful bite. Use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the prawn, then gently remove the vein.
  • Marinate the prawns in sambuca: Marinating the prawns in sambuca infuses them with a sweet and anise-like flavor. Make sure to use a good-quality sambuca for the best results.
  • Cook the prawns quickly: Prawns cook very quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Cook them over high heat for just a few minutes, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Serve the prawns immediately: Prawns are best served hot and fresh. Serve them with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives.
