Prawns are definitely a delicacy and favorite of many esp Bengali’s. My husband begs to differ, he prefers to stay nose diving distance away from sea food and aromatic fishes (tch tch). So when it comes to authentic Bengali fish dishes I eagerly await for my in laws to arrive. Hilsa and prawns are my Mil’s favorite so last evening when I saw some good prawns at fish market had to grab them for her. This was my first solo attempt with prawns and I was definitely scared. Didn’t want to butcher the delicate taste of the amazing prawns but they turned out really good (ask MIL). Prepared them in two ways, the other one being cooked in poppy n mustard seed paste.
