Baked Prawns with Mozarella Cheese Overload

Save the Mozarella! The mozarella almost went to the freezer if i did not promise to cook it by today! So i saved some of my jumbo prawns and made use of all my mozarella... a simple dish to make a perfect dinner :) I was so happy that my sister Eunice could join us for dinner when i cooked this up!

Ingredients:

8 pcs.  Jumbo prawns (butterflied - use scissors to cut shell from head to tail and use knife to cut the prawns until fully open. do not cut through the other side.) * If you're wondering which side to cut, cut the top part (where the eyes are and where you actually devein your prawns)



1 pc.   Red Bell Pepper (diced)
1/2 cup Basil Leaves (chiffonade - leaves piled up and rolled ... then sliced into thin strips)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp   garlic (minced)
1 1/2 cup mozarella (or more if u like)
Salt and Pepper

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius
2. In a bowl, mix together red bell pepper, basil leaves, garlic, olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Oil a baking sheet / pan and line up your prawns wide open
4. Top each prawn with your mixture from head to tail. Making sure you get to distribute evenly the colors to make your prawns pretty after baking :)
5. Top each prawns with mozarella - cover with almost nothing else seen but your cheese
6. Drizzle each prawn with olive oil
7. Put in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes. Serve pretty and hot!

** You can use your toasters! Just 10 minutes and you got a yummy colorful dish right there! The secret is just good prawns and lots of mozarella ;) Enjoy
