Utterly Buttery Prawns
The blustering weather has got my taste buds longing for some simple, fresh seafood.

The tenderness and slight seafood sweetness of these prawns, marinated with garlic and sauteed in a toasty, paprika-spiked sauce is a very good rendition of the classic seafood and cream combination and may even satisfy a chowder craving in a jiffy.
