1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 ounces Manchego cheese, shredded

Bake until crisp and slightly browned. Set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add bell peppers and sauté
until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for

skillet and then add the prawns. Sauté, turning, for about 1 minute.
