Method:

Season the prawns with pepper (but no salt, as the Parma ham is salty
enough).
Carefully cut each strip of ham in half length ways to make two
long ribbons.
Starting just above the tail, spiral the ham around each
prawn, and press firmly down on the end to secure.
Heat the olive oil
in a frying pan.
Add the prawns (in batches) and fry over a medium flame
until the ham is crispy.
Remove from the pan and drain on a paper
towel.
Serve immediately with lime wedges and the balsamic reduction.
