Tips-
- Do not overcook prawns as they will become rubbery
- As I was using medium size prawns, it took me only 3 min to boil. If size is big or small, increase or decrease time accordingly. Small size 1-2 minute, medium size 3-4 min, large size 6-7 min.
- Overcooked prawns will looks white in color whereas perfectly cooked prawns will look bright with orange color hint.
