How to make Prawns Boil

Combine first 12 ingredients and 1925ml water in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 20 minutes. Squeeze in juice from lemon; add lemon to pot. Add hot sauce and prawns. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until prawns are just cooked through, about 3 minutes.

Turn off heat, add 950ml ice cubes, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove prawns with a slotted spoon and place on a newspaper-lined baking sheet. Serve with additional hot sauce, if desired.
