Grilled Prawns With Lime and cilantro

Cooking is fun, when you don't think about anything much. 

I grown up in Chinese family so for me cooking is the mixture of different culture and taste, plus I'm not good at eating chilis, I love food that has mild taste than extra spicy one but I can stand any kind of herbs and spices. Mixing all the things that I like into one dish is what I love to do. As for this dish, it comes with a lot of tangy taste and aromatic herb: Pakchee (coriander leaves or Cilantro), that you can love or hate it, well for me I love it.  For flavorful prawns, don't overcook it as the flesh of it will firm up when sitting in the dressing before serving. 
You can add more chilis if you want, but for me this amount is enough. Let the prawns sit in the dressing will make it more delicious.
