Sweet Chilli Prawns with Crispy Baguette

Make sure you have all ingredients ready to go…
I like to use king prawns as they have the richest flavour of all kind of prawns. Prawns should be moist and smell fresh (not fishy!). If you buy raw prawns, remove head and shell before you start cooking.
Enjoy!
