Ginger Prawns Recipe #224640
This is from the local Western Australia newspaper. After making this we made some changes - the original recipe called for a 1/4 cup each of mint and coriander (cilantro) leaves. We have also added some cornflour and changed the direction a little. The preparation time allows for peeling prawns.
