My son Ted, who is eleven, used to love fish. Nowadays he is not so keen. Ted does still enjoy the odd prawn or two. Therefore I have taken it upon myself to keep the prawns I serve interesting for Ted. I normally always fry prawns in a pan but this time I decided to oven bake them. It’s a very quick dish that make a yummy main meal or you could serve them on skewers as part of a buffet for a party. They are delicious either way and of course I had to share the recipe with you.

Oven Baked Tandoori Prawns was a yummy meal I really enjoyed. They were very easy to prepare and cook. They made a delicious meal but as I mentioned earlier would be great as part of a buffet or even a good starter too. The prawns also made yummy leftover the next day too. I already use frozen prawns so I would not make this meal in advance and freeze it. Also I would be careful with prawns and freezing them even if they aren’t frozen when you buy them. You never know. Plus this is a very quick dish so no need to prepare in advance. However you decide to eat this meal, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
