For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic mixture for a touch of heat. If you prefer to peel the prawns, you can certainly do so. However, frying them with the shells on adds extra flavor and crispiness. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the prawns to ensure they get a nice, crispy texture. Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy prawns. Fry in batches instead.
