How to: preparation
First Cut the cumber in half, then cut both halves in half again and then cut in to wedges one you have cut to your desired size place on large serving plate. Then cut the tomatoes in half and place them next to cucumbers,next cut your lettuce in half then in half again and slice to desired thickness and place on plate with cucumbers and tomatoes. Finally grate cheese and place in serving bowl or leave on chopping board.
Simply put the cooked peeled prawns in the foil tray (no need to add any oil or butter as the moisture from the prawns will be sufficient as long as you keep moving them around the tray), after around 3 minutes add the BBQ sauce, keep stirring so not to burn the sauce, gently stir the prawns and leave for a minute to cook. Once the sauce and the prawns have infused your ready to serve.
Alternative to foil tray: if you cannot get the trays without holes in them, marinade the prawns before cooking.
