  • “Rich, easy marinade that’s quick to prepare with tasty results. I chose the Hoisin sauce & to broil them. The broiling worked just fine.I split the recipe in half, but still used a full 1 clove of garlic for the 16 prawns. I would not recommend skipping the use of the sesame oil.The sesame oil really helped to balance out the marinade flavors in the cooking. UPDATE:I reserved a few last night for lunch today to see how they would fair served cold. What a pleasant surprise — I think these were meant to be served cold, Asian salad style!! Shrimp are hardier & tastier cold and these could handle the rich marinade much better today [good, but just a little too rich when hot last night I found]. I’ll be making this again with the explicit purpose of serving them cold the next day. Increasing the rating from 4 stars to 5 stars when served nice & cold! Thanks [Made & Reviewed for Unrated Asian Recipe Tag]”
