    Instructions

    1 Place two 60cm sheets foil on a flat work surface in a cross pattern. Top with two sheets baking paper in same cross pattern. Place prawns in centre of cross. Be careful not to pile too high to ensure even cooking. Scatter over garlic, paprika and half the chilli. Fold up sides to form a bowl shape, sealing edges where they meet. Drizzle prawns with oil and wine. Seal all edges to form a rough bag shape.

    2 Heat a barbecue chargrill or hot plate over high heat. Place foil bag on grill or plate and cook for 15 minutes or until prawns are cooked through. Be careful when opening bag as steam will be hot.

    3 Meanwhile, cook bread slices on chargrill for 1 minute each side or until toasted.

    4 Place salad leaves, capsicum and onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinegar, tossing to coat.

    5 Top prawns with parsley and remaining chilli. Serve with toast, salad and lemon wedges.

    HFG tip

    Throw a prawn on the barbie! Prawns contain half the kilojoules of sausages & virtually no saturated fat. Use a marinade of olive oil, lemon juice & fresh herbs to cut down on salt.
