These were great and I'm sure Paul Hogan would love to chuck a few on the BBQ! I only used around 1/8 cup of olive oil, 1/4 cup seemed a bit much and it helped concentrate the rest of the flavours. I prepared the great tasting sauce in advance, popped into the fridge and microwaved for 20 seconds before serving.

I'm having a little trouble with reviews staying on recipes. This was originally prepared for Comfort Cafe Summer Beach Bash Jul 2009. I had to special order the prawns, as they are not available in our immediate area. This was so simple to make, but made a gorgeous presentation. Luckily, I have enough prawns in the freezer to have these again, and I definitely will. Thnx for sharing your recipe, kimbearly.
