Preparation
Peel and devein your prawns, wash clean and leave in cold water
Finely slice 1 small onion
Heat a good amount of oil in a shallow frying pan and add the sliced onion with 1 tsp salt
Allow to fry uncovered for a few mins
Add the spices and fry uncovered for several minutes
Add 2 cloves of crushed garlic and 1/2 scotch bonnet pepper and fry for a couple of minutes to remove rawness and release the heat from the pepper
Next add the prawns and tomatoes together
Do not cover the pan, allow the ingredients to cook over a medium flame till the prawns turn from pink to white and are cooked through
You will see the prawns release some fluid which will soften the tomatoes
Once the prawns are cooked the dish is done
Scatter the sliced spring onion on top and remove from heat
Optional) garnish the prawns with some chopped coriander
Enjoy your spicy hot prawns with plain basmati or even a roti!
