Alternatives

If you want, you can replace the Brandy with White Wine in the same amount and make tasty Pan-Fried Prawns with Wine. If you like you can also add some finely chopped fresh chili pepper so as to give it a slight touch of spiciness.

Tips

Pair these luxurious prawns with a crisp, white wine and fresh, artisanal bread to soak up the sumptuous juices, ensuring every bite is a celebration of flavor.

Storage

Pan-fried Prawns should be eaten immediately after cooking. If necessary you can store them in the refrigerator for a day sealed in an airtight container.
