Swahili Food Recipe: Making Swahili Garlic Pilipili Chilli Prawns

Chilli prawns are a favourite of mine and my daughter’s. We adore prawns, so this garlic chilli prawns recipe was a clear brainer, and we definitely had no hesitation about tasting the finished product. We served prawns with chapati and a nice prawn folded in it, dipped in the soup, and we were good to go. After the very first bite of the chilli prawns, we immediately closed our eyes, and for a good reason — it was amazing!

I hope you will enjoy the guide, as per below!
