This was pretty good. It was easy to make. I think it would be good without putting the prawns under the broiler. Just cooked in the pan with the butter, garlic and onions. I have been looking for a scampi recipe that didn't have any hot spices in it I can't eat hot spices. I will be making this again when prawns go on sale at a good price. Thanks Chef Pot Pie for sharing your recipe. Made for PAC '08.

I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything!
I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow.
Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
