Step 2:

Prepare the barbecue

If you have a charcoal barbeque light it 30-45 minutes before you plan to cook. It is ready when there are no more flames and the charcoal has turned white. If you are using a gas barbeque, light it to a high setting and leave it for 15-20 minutes.

Prepare the prawns

Use the scissors to cut the shell. Start from just behind the back of the head and carefully cut down to the tail. Peel the shell off, leaving the head and tail on. Remove the vein that runs along the back.

Repeat the same process with all the prawns and place them onto the tray.
