Ingredients

6 Slices - Bacon (diced & cooked but not crisp)
Balsamic vinegar
20 large basil leaves (plus more for garnish, if desired)
20 jumbo prawns (13-15 per pound), peeled and deveined, tails left on
Freshly ground tellicherry pepper
Toothpicks for securing bacon to prawns

Instructions

Place prawns in a bowl. Splash on a bit of balsamic vinegar and dust with tellicherry pepper. Stir to coat.On a work surface, place 1 half-slice of bacon. Tear a basil leaf in half lengthwise and lay end to end on bacon. Starting with the head end, wrap one prawn with the bacon slice by placing end of prawn on bacon and beginning to roll towards tail, almost entirely encasing prawn and basil. Secure with toothpick and place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining prawns.

Place baking sheet 4-6 inches under broiler and broil approximately 5 minutes per side, turning once.

Remove from broiler and sprinkle generously with coarsely ground tellicherry pepper.

Garnish with whole basil leaves and serve.
