Cut the Pumkin in half and scoop out all the seeds and hairy fibres.
Wrap in tinfoil and place on a baking sheet. bake in a 230C oven for about 45 minutes, or until the flesh feels soft.
To make sure it will stand upright, level the bottom also.
Meanwhile make the Filling.
Marinate the Prawns in the juice of 1/2 Lime, Salt and Paprika for just a little while.
Sautee the Onion in a little Olive Oil for a few minutes before adding the Garlic, Pepper and Chilli. Sweat a few more minutes until everything starts to soften slightly.
Stir in the White Wine and Soft Cheese. Season with Salt and White Pepper.
Add the Tomatoes and keep warm until the Pumpkin is ready. Now add the Prawns and cook them for just a few minutes until they turn pink.
To serve the Pumkin spoon the Prawns and Sauce into the Pumpkin and garnish with Coriander and maybe a whole unshelled Prawn.
With your spoon scoop a little of the pumpkin flesh together with the Prawns and Sauce and enjoy!
As a Table Centre Piece this can also be done in a big Pumpkin, Lid and all :-)
