Tips

If you use frozen prawns for this recipe, allow them to defrost before cooking to make sure they are soft and juicy and that they don’t become overcooked. You can check if your prawns are ready by looking at their shape: if they close up into a "C" they are well cooked, instead if they close up into an "O" shape they are overcooked.
If you're using fresh but uncooked prawns, add them to the sweet chilli sauce in step 3 and cook them for 5 minutes or until they turn pink. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too dry.
