These were so full of flavor. I used a dash of cayenne pepper in place of the chiles and it worked fine and I also didn't need any dipping sauce as they were very juicy. These will be made again. Thanks :) Made for ZWT7 Golden Gourmets.

Perfect prawns, and as other reviewers mentioned the kick of the red chili flakes was outstanding. I could of easily popped this right into my mouth (all of them!) but didn't, just loved this great dish. I left some for dipping, how wonderful! Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT 7

Delicious prawns with the zing of lemon juice and the kick of chili flakes! I made 15 of these so I didn't really have any extra sauce for dip or to baste with. Besides that, I made as directed! ;) Made for my teammate for ZWT7. Thanks Mary! :)
