Recipe Notes
Find a great place to get fresh local prawns if you can. These are a terrific starter at any family or friends get together. Feel free to get creative with your seasoning of your prawns. If you prefer your prawns spicy, add some chopped fresh chili to the marinade mixture.
Be sure to use olive oil for this dish. (Ideally extra virgin cold pressed olive oil) Squeeze fresh lemon onto the prawns if desired and serve on a bed of fresh arugula or on a colorful salad.
