Melanie's Prawns in Lime and Olive Oil

I don’t eat prawns, so it’s very difficult to cook something you don’t really eat and enjoy. At the same time it’s not fair to others at home. I decided to buy some prawns and give it a bash and though I’ve collected lots of prawn recipes I thought I’d start with a very simple basic one, after my brother had to show me how to devein and clean them 😊. The Olive Oil and Lime Prawns was well received and enjoyed.
