Cooking Directions
Prepare the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt to the boiling water.
Cook the Prawns
Once the water is boiling, add the black tiger prawns and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque.
Ice Bath
Remove the prawns from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit in the ice water for about 5 minutes.
Drain and Season
Once chilled, drain the prawns and pat them dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss gently to coat.
Serve
Serve chilled as an appetizer or use in your favorite dishes.
