I recreated this based on a wonderful dish I had for my birthday whilst holidaying on the Gold Coast.

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

I like to make this with Fragrant Yellow Rice (from this website) but I omit the saffron from the rice for this dish. I like to put the rice into moulds and turn out on to plates, and scatter the prawns and sauce over the rice mound. Makes it just that little bit more special!
