Cut the prawns lengthways on the back and remove the black intestines.
For the marinade, dice a clove of garlic and a piece of ginger and stir together with 3 tablespoons of oil. Pour the marinade over the prawns, mix well and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Cut the remaining garlic and ginger as well as the carrots and leek into small cubes.
Just before serving, take the prawns out of the marinade, season with salt, pepper and paprika and fry in a separate pan on both sides for about 1 - 2 minutes (depending on size).
Place the prawns in the middle of the preheated plate and carefully distribute the soup around the prawns.
Garnish with a little chopped parsley or coriander, depending on your taste.
