I made this recipe for DD and DH today.<br/>Both enjoyed the prawns cooked this way, although both thought the recipe needed some sauce.<br/>I did not have sour dough bread, but had some crusty croutons to use up, so I used these instead, the breadcrumbs did turn out a little darker using them, but still they still worked quite weel. Although this was the only change to the recipe.<br/>So quick and easy to cook, and both DD and DH enjoyed the prawns cooked this way.<br/>Thanks for another great way to use prawns Pat.
