Who doesn’t love prawns? Tender, juicy, and sweet, these little shellfish are a big favourite among seafood lovers. They’re extremely versatile and can be used to make delicious appetizers and mains. Plus, they can be grilled, steamed, pan-fried, deep-fried baked, pickled, and more!
We think they will make for a lovely menu the next time you’re entertaining. Here is a collection of our favourite party-friendly prawn recipes so you can throw yourself a Prawn Party while entertaining, this World Cup!
