Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the prawns under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth, then stir in the cumin powder and coriander powder.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Add the prawns to the skillet, stir well to coat them in the sauce, and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the prawns are opaque and cooked through.
Step 8
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
