In this perfectly sweet and savoury dish, a dusting of cornflour on the prawns before they go into the pan is key; it ensures the prawns retain their juiciness, all while getting a lovely crisp coating on the exterior.
We’ve replaced the zucchini in this recipe with carrot due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!
