The best part of Summer is the ready supply of Seafood.
Living in a seafood town we have plenty of choice from the school prawns to the locally caught flat head and beautiful oysters.
Here is a simple prawn dish full of flavour and incorporating the Christmas colours of red and green which is sure to impress your guests.

500 g fresh green prawns, shelled with tail intact
