Jumbo shrimp are often referred to as prawns in the US, however, this recipe will work for any shrimp-like creature, no matter the term. This is incredibly fast and easy to make. The biggest time investment is waiting for the broiler to heat up.

Ingredients:
•9 Tablespoons apricot preserves
•4 Tablespoons butter, melted
•2-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
•1-1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
•2-1/2 teaspoons curry powder
•1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
•Pinch cayenne pepper
•1-1/2 pounds large prawns, peeled, deveined and butterflied
•Kosher salt
•Fresh ground pepper
•Chopped fresh cilantro for garnishing

Preparation:
Preheat the broiler.
Combine the apricot preserves, butter, Dijon mustard, and rice vinegar in a medium bowl. Add the curry powder, garlic powder, and cayenne. Stir to mix well. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange on a aluminum-foil lined baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with the salt and pepper.
Broil until the prawns become opaque and the coating begins to bubble, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, pour the sauce over the prawns and sprinkle with the cilantro.
