Baked prawns with garlic and dill

I always keep prawns (raw and cooked) in the freezer, because they are ideal for quick and easy meals or snacks, and can be used frozen too! This baked prawns with garlic and dill is a regular dish on our dining table, as it’s yummy, zingy and super easy to make. It can be served as tapas or with pasta for a main meal. If you use frozen prawns, the cooking time should be a bit longer.
