Loved the flavour of these, and the pleasant little bit of heat, I made them for a dinner party appetizer, everyone loved them, a huge success! I had no tarragon vinegar so I subbed with 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Rather than serve them on toasts I served them in a dish with the sauce and with tooth picks, worked very well. Thanks for posting, I will make them again, next time I will try them on the toasts.. -
For flavor this is a 5 plus there were a couple of things that were not covered in the instructions like when to toast the bread slices I may have done it differently - I have found that marinating cooked prawns in a vinegar based marinade can toughen them but I wanted the great flavor so I marinated them for 1 1/2 hrs,saved the marinade - I buttered the baguette slices and toasted them just before serving, placed two prawns on each slice. I placed all the chopped garlic, shallots etc with some of the liquid in a bowl and served it along side of the prawn toast. Then we could add a tsp of the the lovely garlic mixture to each one, one at a time This recipe is not to be missed - Thanks Oolala for a lovely appy with my Sunday Martini

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
