1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 pounds or one kg large prawns - peeled, deveined and butterflied
1 medium head garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add 1 minced head

thick paste, about 60 to 90 minutes. In a separate saucepan, melt
remaining 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over low heat. Saute
remaining garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Toss prawns in garlic butter
sauce and place on a baking sheet. Broil until pink, do not
