Method
step 1
Put all the ingredients apart from the ghee and frying oil in a bowl. Marinate for at least 30 mins.
step 2
Put a tava, crêpe pan or a skillet over a high heat. Carefully brush the ghee and oil all over the pan.
step 3
Once hot, put the prawns flat on the pan. If there is any excess marinade, brush this over them. Reduce the temperature to medium-high and cook for 60-90 seconds. Ensure the pan is well oiled and brush the ghee around the prawns. Turn the prawns over and cook on the other side for 60-90 seconds or until the prawns turn pink.
step 4
Serve with a kachumber salad and wedges of lime.
