- Break down with white wine: after cooking garlic and prawns, the pan can be broken down with a little white wine to provide depth of sauce flavor.
- Add fish broth: For a richer sauce, you can incorporate some fish or seafood broth, for a more intense flavor.
- Take cooking time into account: cook the prawns only until they are pink and cooked, which usually takes a few minutes. If they are cooked in excess they can become gums.
