What is an Australian barbeque? What do Australians cook on a barbeque? Well, the answer is just about anything. But, today, we’ve partnered with one of Australia’s and New Zealand’s leading chefs and restaurateurs, Sean Connolly, to create a summertime favourite for your next barbeque, Saltimbocca King Prawns. Wrapped in fresh slices of prosciutto and garnished with leaves of sage, in under 10-minutes your guests will be served a dish that will make any casual barbeque that little bit tastier. By wrapping the prawns in sage and prosciutto, it creates a light and salty combustion on the palate, enhancing one of Australia’s most loved summer seafood produce.
