To Assemble
Take each shell and core it with a spoon carefully so that you do not break right into the bottom ( this is to give a little depth).
Like wise prepare all the shells.
Arrange them in a lined tray, place a prawn at the bottom.
Pour the sauce
Again place a prawn on top.
Cut the cheese slice to fit the shell, garnish with a red capsicum piece and place it in the oven till the cheese melts say about 10 minutes or so.
Take them off and serve as appetizers to your guest ...enjoy.
