Finally, for jumbo prawn recipes in the wok or for marinating jumbo prawns for the barbie (as in the Australian jumbo prawns on the barbie recipe), you'll want to give a preliminary chopping of the smashed and peeled fresh garlic cloves to get them knocked down in size a bit so they will cook quickly enough that they are done before the other ingredients get too overcooked. A big un-chopped clove of fresh garlic may end up a bit too raw if you don't chop it up a bit.
