Baked Prawns for Brunch! :D

Panic! Cousin coming over and he keeps on telling me that 'Seafood' better greet him when he gets there. Okay, I have been craving prawns myself but being the talented cook I am, prawns seem like a daunting challenge. Oh well! I did just fine. Little brother was all praises. This is a fairly simple recipe. Baked garlic prawns on a Tahini and Mint sauce bed. ^___^ Oh, btw the prawns melted like cheese in my mouth. For all you indolent cooks out there who would probably start cooking half an hour before the guests arrive, this is the perfect recipe for you. Easy, super easy. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Prawns! D'oh! Use small prawns. They give the best results. I used around 20 small prawns.

Marinade for the prawns>
1) 2-3 tsp Vegetable oil or Olive oil.(Whatever you like :P)
2) Lemon juice from half a lemon.
3) Ginger and garlic grated. (A total of 1/4 tsp maybe? Yes, very little. They release a lot of heat, so do not use too much)
4) 1/4 to 1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder ( or acc to taste. I love em hot!!!)
5) Salt acc to taste.

For the refreshing sauce>
1) 1/2 cup hung curd.
2) 2 tbsp lemon juice
3) 1 tbsp castor sugar
4) 2 tsp Tahini(white sesame paste)
5) 1 tbsp Mint shredded or Mint paste, whichever is preferred.
6) A pinch of salt.

Recipe

1) Make a marinade out of the ingredients and slather the prawns.
2) Preheat the oven to 180 C.
3) Bake the prawns for 15-20 mins. Prawns are well done when they turn a little golden brown.
4) Make the Sauce by mixing the ingredients together. Plate up with Rice or Toasted Bread with a squeeze of lemon juice on top.

The easiest prawn recipe ever! O___O
