About


CostCo had some gorgeous Black Tiger Prawns last week.  I got 16 of them, which was just slightly over a pound.  I knew that I didn’t want to fuss with them very much, and I wanted them to retain their natural sweetness and succulence.  So, I prepared them very simply.  Easy, quick and delicious – what more could you want in a meal.  I served these as an accompaniment to tri-tip steak.  They were devoured quite quickly.
