I barbecued all of it on a skewer and it was colorful and delicious.

The prawns were succulent with excellent flavor! Instead of doing the peppers separately I threaded them between the prawns. For fresh basil I used 1 tsp fresh frozen basil. It is winter time here with a bit of snow on the ground so I grilled the prawns in the oven for apprx 10 minuyes - perfect. Thanks Charishma for a recipe that will be made again in this house.
