Something else. The spices were just right for this recipe. It had a really good flavour. I did leave the prawns in the garlic, salt, spice mixture to marinade for awhile and then I added the lemon juice shortly before cooking (if seafood is left in an acid for too long it can get mushy). - 21 Jul 2008
Ive made this several times and have discovered that I need to watch my times very closely. Sitting too long in the salty mixture can ruin it. I have passed this along to friends, who all enjoy it very much. - 21 Jul 2008
We normally don’t use a lot of salt so we thought the salt was excessive. And yes, I did use coarse salt. If we had used less salt than indicated in the recipe, it would been a five star recipe. - 04 Jan 2013
