First time ever I tried a Fish variety by referring a book, And it came out well. I bought frozen Prawns (PUD) i.e Undeveined prawns. If u buy Deveined prawns (PD) it will take less preparation time.While cleaning PUD (Head and tail removed) we just have to remove the veins.I didn't taste it as I'm a  EGG vegetarian :)  just tried for my hubby. And cooking time is around 20 mins. But preparation takes some time.
