Battered prawns are an irresistible appetizer, perfect for a scenic and super tasty aperitif. This is one of those recipes that with few ingredients give a touch of elegance to a lunch or dinner. If you like the idea, you can serve the prawns as a main dish accompanied by sides like salad and grilled vegetables. Usually, in some places, they are served with sauces to dip the prawns to enrich them with other flavors, but I prefer simplicity and to taste all the flavors of the sea. “I won’t hide that this is one of the recipes on my blog where I imagined savoring what I was writing.” So what are you waiting for?
