Egyptian Spiced Prawns

Submitted by Tinkerbell

"A delicious blend of flavors, these prawns are not spicy hot, as my toddler was able to eat them just fine. The cumin really stands out in this dish but not overpoweringly. I found the original version of this recipe on Recipes4us.co.uk & made alterations in ingredients to suit our tastes. :)"

You know it's good when your kids ask you to make it again. I used more oil and doubled the seasonings so it was a bit more saucey.

Yum! Had everything for this in the freezer and it was super easy and lots of flavor. Hubby loved it too! Served over brown rice for a quick and easy week night dinner. Will make again.

It is really awesome and I use it for chicken as well! I have baked this many times using chicken tenders and I chop it up and freeze it then take it for lunch at work on top of a green salad. I do love it on shrimp as well! Very exotic!
