Vietnamese BBQ Prawns

A super easy , super fast and super tasty a bit of wow dish, without the fuss! Marinate these flavour packed prawns for at least a few hours best overnight so the chilies and garlic really come out, after they’ve been through the DeliVita oven . And when in the over take them out and , brush the prawns with the remaining marinade so that the outside crisps and gets slightly caramelized. Give them a hefty squeeze of lime before serving: The acidity balances out the heat, and salt. Created by Tony Singh
