Chilli Honey and Garlic Prawns

My DH printed this recipe from a blog and asked me to save it here for us to try when we could get some of the local Mandurah prawns to try it with. Times are estimated and do not include peeling prawns, which would take me about 15 to 25 minutes depending on size of prawns. We made this last night and I have made some minor changes to the original recipe, we served it with fried rice (which I had defrosted from the freezer and heated in the microwave) for a quick easy meal. The original recipe had 380 grams of prawns but we found 500 grams (this is unpeeled weight) did the 2 of us for a main meal but would do 4 has an entree or starter course or as a main if adding more sides. We added the fresh chilli to the recipe as we do enjoy a spicy prawn dish.
