    I would suggest you devein the prawns. It is safer for one thing, and what happens as you cook is that the prawns butterfly and cook the sauce in well, They look great too. As a lover of what we call in South Africa LM prawns, I would use more chili, much more and add a good dollop of garlic. The lemon is esential when yoiu serve.
