I love this recipe! The spot prawns are always so fresh and flavorful. I like to marinate them for a few hours before grilling, which really helps to infuse them with flavor. They're always a hit with my guests.

5/5 stars! The spot prawns were juicy and succulent, with a slightly smoky flavor from the grill. The marinade added a nice depth of flavor without overpowering the delicate taste of the prawns.
