Marie Rose sauce

1. Bin the Prawns and say a prayer to Sibs.

• a pinch of cayenne pepper
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, chilli or chipotle pepper optional
• 1 lemon
• 3 or 4 rashers of bacon, crisply prepared (grilled for the less fat option).

• Add the Bacon and gently mix so they’re all well coated

Assemble and garnish.

i vote Oyster Bay or Montana Sauvignon Blanc with the prawns. I can taste it now. (Reasonably) cheap and cheerful, but lovely jubbly

[albaqwerty]

Tone, it don't matter!! A pud is a pud :-)

ooh Excel, now that's a very good thought. x

AC, I'll do the chilli flakes on yours, the squeeze of lemon is a given :-)

[tonyav]

Mmmmm, I'll have a think then, mazie.
