Devilled Prawns and Eggs
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.
