Get the smoky flavour of authentic barbequed prawns without actually having to fire up the barbeque. Although if DO have time to barbeque, then by all means go for it and enjoy a delicious smack of double smokiness. But for those weeknight evenings when you don't have the time or energy to get the barbeque going (let alone clean it), these smoke-salt-infused prawns will bring your taste buds right back to a lazy sunny Sunday in the garden.
