Prawns Teriyaki

I love experimenting with food and learn new techniques .Thus I came across this dish called teriyaki.Teriyaki is a cooking technique used in Japanese cuisine in which foods are broiled or grilled with a glaze of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.Mirin is an essential ingredient  used in Japanese cuisine. It is a kind of rice wine , but with a lower alcohol content and higher sugar content.You can get teriyaki marinade in stores.If it is not available you can substitute it with sugar,red wine and soya sauce.It is a very quick recipe with a strong extra ordinary flavour.You can enjoy it as a side dish with rice.
