This is one of the best seasoning mixes I have tried for Prawns/Shrimp all my family loved this one and can not wait to make it again, but next time I will try cooking them on the BBQ. I served ours as a main over a salad which was delicious but as the chef who’s recipe I made said it is great as an appetizer or a main course. To read more reviews on this recipe please click here.
