Prawns Sambuca Flambe image

Flambe presentation makes any meal presentation special and dramatic. This recipe is sure to wow your guests and please their palates, as well. The recipe is from one of the finest restaurants in Monterey, California called the Sardine Factory. Dining at this wonderful restaurant on Cannery Row, one can almost feel the presence of Ernest Hemingway and other historical people who once lived and worked here.
