1/2 cup olive oil
2 tsp. paprika

Prawns:
12 large (13/15 size) frozen prawns, preferably wild from the Gulf of Mexico, thawed, peeled and deveined. Rinse & pat dry.

Heat up the barbecue to medium high.  Grill the prawns and the potatoes until prawns are cooked through and the potatoes are grill-marked and hot.
