Pork Belly Spot Prawns 1

It’s Spot Prawn season and my friend came up with this recipe. It’s not based off of anything and it was just a regular dinner at home, but I liked it. It was simple, approachable, easy and affordable. Well, Spot Prawns are pricey this year at about $21/lb, but they’re hard to resist.

Spot Prawns are delicious any way you cook them and this recipe isn’t a “bacon makes everything better”, it’s just a good recipe. The pork belly gives it a richer flavour and it’s a nice surf and turf dish for any day of the week.
