Baked Scampi

Preparation:

Preparation: Turn on the oven at 240 degrees. If the prawns are alive, place them in a frying basket and immerse them in a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds. Let them cool under cold water for a few moments. Divide the prawns in half lengthwise, cutting them with a sharp knife starting from the tail. Break the claws with a nutcracker or a pestle. Arrange them in a baking dish and put them in the oven for 5-10 minutes, depending on the size. They are cooked when the shell has turned a deep pink color with white patches. Cut the lemon into wedges and the cucumber into slices. Serve the scampi with melted butter and plenty of black pepper. Garnish with lemon wedges, cucumber slices and dill.
