      1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.

      2. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped dates, chopped almonds, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.

      3. Stuff each prawn with a spoonful of the date and nut mixture.

      4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.

      5. Brush the seasoned oil over the stuffed prawns.

      6. Place the prawns in a baking dish and bake for 10—12 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through and the stuffing is lightly browned.

      7. Serve the prawns hot as an appetizer or main dish.

      This recipe is an unusual take on traditional Egyptian food, as it incorporates sweet flavors like dates and savory flavors like garlic and cumin into a seafood dish. Prawns were a common ingredient in ancient Egyptian cuisine, and this recipe would have been a luxurious dish fit for a queen like Cleopatra. The addition of chopped almonds adds a crunchy texture to the stuffing, while the fresh herbs add a burst of flavor.

      6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
