Ingredients




6 Jumbo River Prawns
3 tbsp minced Garlic
2 tbsp salted Butter (for prawns)
1 tbsp Butter (for garlic)
Mozzarella & Parmesan Cheese for toppings.

Preparation

1 Preheat oven at 200°C. 2 Clean prawns thoroughly. Trim "whiskers" & cut away the claws. Slit open the prawns from the front & devein. Remove any dirt from the head. 3 Smash the claws & remove some of the shells. Set aside for other purposes. 4 Sautéed garlic till fragrant but not brown. This step is optional. You can skip it & leave it to the baking step, but I prefer my garlic to be nice & crisp. 5 Massage prawns with butter & place on baking trays. Look at the amount of roes on the heads! 6 Add garlic, then mozzarella cheese. Use toothpicks to keep the prawns open. 7 Top with parmesan cheese & bake for 10 mins or till brown. 8 Remove toothpicks before serving & pair these Baked Cheesy Jumbo River Prawns with your favourite sides!
