450g prawns
2 tins of tomatoes
2 teaspoons of marjoram
two glasses of white wine(any will do)
2 teaspoons of chilli powder (or to taste) we like it hot
2 cloves of garlic crushed
a teaspoon of olive oil
If you are not trying to lose weight some single cream (optional)
1 teaspoon of sugar (I find this takes of the acidity of the tomatoes)
Optional some parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
