# Do not remove the shells.
# Place 300 ml / 10 fl. oz of the oil in a frying pan together with the capsicum and heat slowly over a low/medium heat.
# Cook very gently for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the peppers are very tender but not browned.
# Remove from the heat and set aside.
# Meanwhile, place the remaining oil in another frying pan together with the garlic pieces and cook over a low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring, until soft and golden.
# Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and add it to the peppers.
# Reheat the garlic oil until hot, add the chilli pepper and the prawns and sauté for a few minutes only, stirring, until they turn pink.
# To serve - transfer the peppers and their oil to a shallow serving bowl and arrange the prawns around the edges.
# To eat - each diner helps themselves to a slice of french stick, dips bread into the oil to soak it then piles some of the pepper mixture over the soaked bread and tops with a prawn.
