Cut the scampi slightly and pull out the intestines. Wash the prawns, dab dry and put them on skewers. Clean, wash and dice the tomatoes. Dice the apricot halves. Heat the oil in a coated pan and fry the skewers in it for about 2 minutes on each side, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Remove the skewers and let them drip off on kitchen paper. Add the diced tomatoes and apricots to the pan. Deglaze with tomato juice and season with salt, pepper, some sugar and lemon juice.
Garnish with lemon wedges, spring onion rings and lemon balm. Serve with buttered, crisply gratinated baguette seasoned with orange pepper.
