Method

  1. For the salsa, snip the herbs into a bowl, then snip in the chillies and the tomatoes (be careful as you insert the point of the scissors into the tomato – they can spurt). Stir in the sugar and vinegar, season well and stir in enough olive oil to make a thick salsa.
  2. Melt the butter with the garlic in a pan, remove from the heat and leave to infuse.
  3. Rub the prawns all over with a little olive oil. On a barbecue, or on a griddle pan on the campfire or the hob over a high heat, add the prawns and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink all over. Serve with the salsa and garlic butter.

  1. To de-seed a chilli without a knife, roll between your hands, snip off the top and tap against the side of a bowl to knock out the seeds. This will reduce the heat a little, but the hottest parts of a chilli are the strips of white pith – so snip these out too, if you want.
