- 16slice(s)Prosciuttopaper thin slices
- 1kgTomatovery ripe, roughly chopped
- 15wholeJalapeno Chillispreferably red, or 3 medium red chillies

- 2tspCelery Salt
- 2tbspBrown Sugar
- 100gButtercold, chopped
- 2tbspBalsamic Vinegar
Directions
- 1 To make the sauce, in a large saucepan soften the onion and chillies without browning, then add tomatoes, garlic, celery salt and sugar.
- 2 Bring to the boil them simmer for about twenty minutes, until tomatoes are cooked and slightly reduced.
- 3 To make a smoother sauce, press this mixture through a coarse sieve and return it to a clean saucepan (you lose the tomato skins and seeds this way).
- 4 Wrap each prawn in a slice or half a slice of prosciutto and fry without oil on the flat grill until the prosciutto starts to crisp and the prawns are just cooked through- only a minute or two each side.
- 5 Re-heat the sauce and add the balsamic vinegar. Remove from the heat and stir through the butter until it melts completely.
- 6 Spoon plenty of the sauce on four plates and place four of the prawns on top.
