Devilled prawns and eggs recipe
information
Adjust the consistency of the sauce before adding the prawns. If it is too thick, add some of the reserved juice from the tomatoes. If it is too runny, boil it rapidly for about 5 minutes to evaporate some of the liquid.
Always use wine vinegar for a delicate flavour. Malt vinegar is much too harsh in flavour for most dishes.
For a starter, serve in individual dishes, with out the rice accompaniment. For a main meal, surround with boiled rice.

5. Stir the prawns into the tomato sauce and cook for a further 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Peel and halve the eggs and place in a warmed serving dish. Spoon the tomato and prawn mixture over them. Serve at once.
