10-12 large size tiger prawns, cleaned, trimmed

1/2 block cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 block quickmelt cheese, grated

1/4 block salted butter, grated

1/4 block salted butter, melted

Cooking procedure:

Using a scissor cut the prawn shell’s back, at the center along the prawn length from head to the tail. Now with a small knife cut the prawn meat from the back, from the head to the tail. Remove the black vein, and then open the prawn like a butterfly. Do this with the rest of the prawns. Before grilling arrange the butterflied prawns side by side on a tray, meat facing up, drizzle with the juice from the lemon. Evenly top the prawns with garlic, then with the grated butter. Arrange the prawns side by side on the grill meat facing up, grill for 3 to 5 minutes. Now top the prawns with the grated cheese, first with the cheddar cheese and on top layer with the quickmelt cheese. Continue for another 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheese start to melt. Remove from the grill and arrange the prawns in a platter. Drizzle with the melted butter and serve.
