Note
The original recipe mentions "zest" but does not list citrus in the ingredients; omit unless you wish to add lemon zest for brightness.
Ensure prawns are fully cooked before adding to the stew to prevent overcooking and rubbery texture.
Adjust the amount of chilli flakes to control the heat level of the dish.
