    • Donna we eat them as it is along with bread but you could eat with green chutney, tartar sauce or even with cheesy dip. Hope this helps you.

    • Hi Chris,

      Thanks a ton :)…….. Prawn Xec Xec is normally made at my mom’s house. I have shifted to Pune and you don’t get fresh fish as Mumbai. So you will have to give me some time until I get hold of nice fresh prawns for Prawns Xec Xec. Take care and will soon update you on the same.

      Thanks,
      Maria
