This recipe for chargrilled prawns and crab claws with smoky diabolo sauce looks and tastes fantastic, but is easy to make. Diabolo, or devil, sauce varies in strength, this one doesn’t hit the top of the scale so you can still taste the sweetness of the seafood. You don’t have to chargrill the crab claws but it adds an extra smokiness.
