Fresh, large prawns don’t go in for a customary bath in oil here, but are grilled with two allies that only accentuate the virtues of the prawn — salt and pepper. To accompany the prawn made with minimum fuss is an entire vegetable garden. Throw in any vegetable, put in some mashed potatoes, a tiny portion of pasta if you like and a steady stream of the bell pepper sauce — it is a wholesome meal.
