Frequently asked questions
Can I use frozen prawns?
Yes — thaw overnight in the fridge or under cold water for 10 minutes. Pat dry before cooking.
How long should I cook the prawns?
2–3 minutes each side on high heat. When they turn pink and curl, they're done.
What can I use instead of avocado?
Diced mango gives a similar texture with a sweet note that pairs well with prawns.
