For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce for the prawns. San Marzano tomatoes are recommended for their superior sweetness and flavor, but any high-quality crushed tomatoes will work. Be careful not to overcook the prawns, as they will become rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute dried parsley, but use about half the amount (approximately 2 tablespoons). For an extra layer of flavor, deglaze the prawn pan with a splash of dry white wine after cooking the garlic, before adding the prawns. Let the wine reduce slightly before proceeding.
