Red-Wine Braised Prawns with Onion, Tomato and Pepper

Why people make this dish

This is Nourilo’s “lucky” New Year dish — large sea prawns braised in red wine, with the playful name “hee-haa big laugh” to wish everyone a happy, carefree year. Sea prawns are reasonably priced lately, and the roe in the prawn heads is the tastiest part, so the prawns are cooked shell-on. Pile it onto a big platter with onion, tomato and sweet pepper and the whole family will be happy.
