Butter Prawns

These butter prawns were so creamy and delicious. Mind you, it's very addictively delicious.

One of the good things that I love about food blogging is receiving feedback from my readers’ email. Through all the email exchanges, I shared their joy and satisfaction after trying my recipes. Thank you all for your encouraging feedback.
