Superb. It’s difficult enough to find savoury rather than sweet recipes for the festive season, and this is an all-year-round one.

Until now I’ve just slit them down the back and fried them whole (heads and all) in garlic butter. Get them crisp, and the only thing you leave is a nearly-empty head for the cat and/or dog.

That looks absolutely delicous. I love anything with prawns in it. I will keep this recipe for when I am cooking prawns on the bbq. I usually just marinade them in honey, ginger, garlic and white wine but this recipe will make a nice change.

That sounds really a wonderful idea to chillout for christmas.
I for sure know will be slaving in the kitchen as we will have most of the family comming to our place and i do the whole dinner.
But i am getting clever i am trying to prepare dishes which i can prepare a day ot two early

Oh. My. God.

Those look/sound amazing. Now to pick up some lovely, luscious shrimp and whip up a batch, be inspired to write a blog post and link to your page so that my friends can look at your photo and not mine.

You’re my kind of woman, Mallika. Were I actually in the country for xmas this year I’d be at the other end of the country drinking Baileys and also screaming at my siblings (and anyone else within earshot) over Pictionary.
