Reduce the Masala: Cook the tomato-onion mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until it reduces to a thick, dark paste and the oil leaves the sides of the pan.

Cook Prawns: Increase the heat to medium-high. Toss the marinated prawns into the thick masala. Stir-fry for 4-6 minutes.

Finish: The prawns are done when they curl into a 'C' shape and turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook, or they will become rubbery. Garnish with a squeeze of lime and fresh cilantro.
