Variations
I chopped up a small roasted red pepper and added to this as I had one spare.
Split a green Indian chilli down the middle and sauté it with the onions and garlic and leave it with the prawns while they marinade. Remove and discard before making the pizza.
Leave the prawn , onions and garlic to marinade for a few hours if you have the time.
