over a medium heat and add the onion, garlic, basil, oregano and white
pepper. Stir briskly to prevent the onion browning. When the onion is soft,
add the tomato pulp. Bring the mixture to the boil and immediately reduce
the heat to a low simmer. Remove the garlic and basil stems and discard.

form a base. Spoon on some of the creamy cocktail sauce and place 5 large
prawns around the edge of each bowl. Hang some wedges of fresh lime on the
sides of the bowl for squeezing.
