2 tbsp tomato sauce
Salt to taste
1 egg white beaten and mixed with ¼ tsp cornflour
Method
1. The prawns should be very big.
2. Cut the prawns lengthwise along the back and score them lengthwise and crosswise to prevent prawns from curling when frying.

4. Set aside for 1 hour.
5. Now butter the pieces of bread and on each piece place a prawn along with some of its marinade, then a piece of ham and a sprig of parsley.
6. Brush each one with egg-white blended with cornflour.
7. Deep fry the pieces to a golden colour.
8. When frying, place the pieces inside the pan with the prawn side up.
