- Use a larger size of prawn : A 10/15 size is ideal as they are meatier and juicier. Note that cooking time depends on the size.
- If you like your broccoli extra tender, boil the florets in boiling salted water for 3 minutes, then soak in ice-cold water to keep the color. Then throw into the foil packs .
