Notes

Don't over cook the shrimps as they get rubbery and lose their taste. If you are using small shrimps, reduce the cooking time to avoid over cooking them.
If you use frozen shrimp for this recipe, make sure they are completely thawed before cooking them.
Leftover Karides Güveç would keep for up to two days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
A short video is attached to the recipe card to show how to peel and devein raw prawns.
You can freeze the leftovers if you used fresh prawns. However, if you made the dish with frozen prawns, I don't recommend freezing the leftovers!
