Preparation

1

Prepare vegetables before beginning cooking instructions

2

Prepare the stock

4

Ensure you have taken off the shell off your king prawns and that they are cooked. If you have bought them raw, take off its shell, boil some water in a pan and boil the king prawns for about two minutes until pink. TIP: If the king prawns are grey in colour they are raw, if they are pink they have been pre-cooked. Also make sure you lay the prawn flat and make a cut down its side and take out its intestines. You will see this as a black line running down the side of the king prawn.
