Really enjoyed these prawns. I doubled the recipe and then doubled the herb/oil mixture again. When making the dressing I used a mix of red and orange capsicum and substituted the chervil for tarragon as I couldn't buy any fresh chervil. I used green king prawns. I served these with a green salad and used some of the herb/oil mixture to dress. The prawns cooked very quickly as SonyaS01 suggested. I'll be making this again especially the herb/oil mix as I think it would be delicious on fresh fish fillets and can imagine also adding a little sesame oil to the olive oil. Thanks Sonya01

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
