Made this recipe as indicated, & served it with a purchased sweet chili sauce, which was very good! Another time, though, I'd like to make the sauce from one of the handful of recipes here on Zaar! Thanks much for the VERY, VERY TASTY PRAWNS, & a recipe worth keeping! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted Joeys in the Aus/NZ Special Recipe Swap #19]
