Sweet And Spicy Prawns

Prawns have such a delicate flavor that keeping from overwhelming them can be a challenge. We kept the shells on to protect them from over cooking, but the blackened flavor still came through. It was a little messy getting them out of their shells, but fun and worth the work! A fresh herb salad and light marinade made this a great appetizer.
