I am not a professional cook or chef, but I love to explore different cuisines and foods and cook them in my own mix-match style. Sometimes they come out so delicious that I pin them in my regular cooking routine. If you are a non-vegetarian and love sea foods, then let’s cook prawns in tangy tomato gravy.

You can cook prawns in various ways and can try your own variations, such as adding mushrooms or any seafood like squid, or clams, and invent a new dish; the option is yours. One of the easiest ways to cook prawns for me is to mix pepper, lemon juice, and salt in clean prawns, keeping these marinated prawns for around 30 minutes, and then stir fry them in butter; trust me, it tastes heavenly.
