  • Finely slice the onion and capsicum - leave to the side
  • Devein the prawns by running a sharp knife across the back and the insides will come out. Keep the head and tails on. Give the prawns a rinse.
  • In a large dish, place the onion and capsicum on the base, then the prawns. Sprinkle over the garlic, mint and chilli, Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze fresh lemon. Leave in the fridge for an hour or so.
