Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of chili flakes or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the pea puree.
• Make sure to cook the prawns just until they turn pink and are no longer translucent in the center to avoid overcooking.

Storage and Serving

• These crostini are best served immediately after assembling to maintain their crispiness.
• If you have leftover pea puree, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• You can also use the pea puree as a dip for vegetables or as a spread for sandwiches.
