Tandoori Prawns
A twist on the popular Indian favourite 'Tandoori Chicken'. I'm quite fond of the chicken variation but I just love what the recipe does to prawns. Most of you may not have a tandoor (outdoor clay oven) so just use a regular oven. Or better still, barbecue the prawns on a wintry night and serve with cold beer!
