To butterfly the prawns, first remove the head by twisting it off, then discard. Don't remove the shell. Place the prawn on its back on a cutting board. Using a small, sharp knife, cut through the centre of the body from below the head down to the tail. Don't cut all the way through the flesh. Repeat with the remaining prawns.2.

Slice the ginger into thick slices and add to the sauce in the pan.4. Slice the chilli and add to the pan.

Meanwhile, heat a ridged grill pan until hot. Sprinkle the sea salt over the prepared prawns. Pour over the oil, then rub it into the prawns.6. Place the prawns on the hot grill pan and grill until cooked through and slightly charred (this will take about 2-3 minutes). Press down lightly with tongs to ensure even cooking. Turn the prawns over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.7. Chop the fresh coriander. When the prawns are cooked, transfer them into the pan with the reduced sauce.8. Add the coriander and a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the pan.9. Stir together until the prawns are coated in the sauce. Serve straightaway.
tathastu on 27 Sep 21When do you eat?: Do you eat according to time or when you are hungry or when you are happy or sad??? Have you observed your eating pattern with your emotions? Every food you eat has an emotional and spiritual effect on your body. We don't always eat just to satisfy our hunger, eating patterns for most of us depends upon our comfort, company for eating, availability of food, and our mood too. All of us can deal with other factors but dealing with emotional eating is not easy for everyone. First of all, you need to observe yourself, if you are an emotional eater or not? Do you crave sweets, salty and crunchy food when you are stressed? Do you drink more coffee when you are stressed? Do you tend to eat more when you are happy? Do you eat less or skip your meals when you are alone? Do you eat more when you are with your family and friends? Do you still tend to eat when you are not hungry or you're full?
