    Refrigerate overnight.
  6. 6
    Preheat oven to 500°F.
  7. 7
    Place prawns with the marinade in a large, heavy skillet (large enough to fit prawns in a single layer or cook in batches) and place in oven.
  8. 8
    In about 2 to 3 minutes, shake the pan to ensure even cooking and repeat in another 2 to 3 minutes.

    This process should take about 4 to 5 minutes.

    When completed, pour onto a platter and serve immediately with plenty of good, crispy bread.
