Method

To make the salsa:

Preheat a bbq or grill pan over high heat.

Brush prawns with oil and place on the barbecue. Grill for 1-2 minutes each side.

Heat butter in a large frying pan, add garlic and cook for 4 minutes or until it starts to turn golden.

Add the chargrilled prawns, parsley and lemon juice, toss to coat. Serve sizzling prawns with sliders, mayonnaise, green and gold salsa and fresh watercress.
