For a richer flavor, use aged dark rum. Ensure the prawns are dry before adding them to the skillet to achieve a better sear. Be extremely cautious when igniting the rum. Keep a safe distance and have a lid nearby to smother the flames if necessary. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley for added freshness.
