Chili Prawns with a Spicy, Creamy Sauce

Introduction
Chili Prawns is a bold and flavorful dish, combining juicy prawns with a rich, spicy, and creamy sauce. Traditionally served with Chinese-style steamed buns, it’s equally delicious with a crusty French baguette to soak up the sauce. You can also swap prawns for crab to enjoy a seafood twist!
