1. Preheat oven at 200 °C.
2. Clean prawns thoroughly. Trim “whiskers” & cut away the claws. Slit open the prawns from the front & devein. Remove any dirt from the head.
3. Smash the claws & remove some of the shells. Set aside for other purposes.
4. Sautéed garlic till fragrant but not brown. This step is optional. You can skip it & leave it to the baking step, but I prefer my garlic to be nice & crisp.
5. Massage prawns with butter & place on baking trays. Look at the amount of roes on the heads!
6. Add garlic, then mozzarella cheese. Use toothpicks to keep the prawns open.
7. Top with parmesan cheese & bake for 10 mins or till brown.
8. Remove toothpicks before serving & pair these Baked Cheesy Jumbo River Prawns with your favourite sides!
