| 1. Marinated Prawns:. | 2. Wash and pat dry the prawns. Peel and devein; leave on the tails. | 3. Butterfly the prawns: With a small SHARP knife slice down the back of each prawn - almost completely through. Spread and flatten to form the butterfly shape. | 4. In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, onion powder, basil, oregano, parsley and pepper flakes. | 5. Add the prepared prawns to the marinade; toss to coat. Marinate in refrigerator for at least thirty (30) minutes. | 6. Meanwhile, prepare the tomato sauce: In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes longer. Add the remaining ingredients and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. | 7. Prepare ziti according to directions on box. | 8. Remove prawns from marinade (DISCARD LEFTOVER MARINADE). | 9. Grill or broil prawns, turning once, until prawns turn pink. DO NOT OVERCOOK. | 10. On a warm, large serving platter spoon the tomato sauce over hot ziti and top with the prawns. | 11. Garnish, if desired, with additional chopped parsley leaves and serve with Parmesan cheese. DON'T FORGET THE WARM, CRUSTY ITALIAN BREAD TO SOP UP THE SAUCE! | 12. Cooks Tip: After dinner, refresh yourself Italian style with a frosty shot of Limoncello. The Italians say it helps with digestion. Who knows if it's true, but… who cares? Sure is tasty. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
