How To Make Grilled Cheese Prawns
This homemade grilled cheese prawns recipe is effortless to prepare, and the final result is always delicious. First, clean the prawn. Using a knife or scissor, make a shallow cut down the middle of the back of each prawn, don’t cut all the way through. Next, combine the mayonnaise and egg yolk and coat evenly on each prawn. Stuff with shredded cheese. Finally, bake the prawns in a preheated oven or the outside grill for a few minutes until the prawns turn pink, and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately with freshly chopped parsley.
Cooking Tips
For the best result, please follow my tips below.
Pick fresh large prawns for the best taste. Fresh prawns will have a sweet and succulent flavor, enhancing the overall taste of your grilled cheese prawns. Don’t Overcook the Prawns. Prawns cook quickly, and overcooking can result in a rubbery texture. Keep a close eye on them while baking, and remove them from the oven as soon as they turn pink and opaque. This will ensure they remain juicy and tender. Select a cheese that melts well and complements the prawns. Cheddar, mozzarella, Gouda, or a blend of cheeses are excellent choices. Avoid using cheeses that are too pungent or overpowering, as they may mask the delicate flavors of the prawns.
