Gremolata prawns

4 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1largeLemon; 2 tbsp olive oil
20Unpeeled large raw prawns
Cayenne pepper; (optional)
3Garlic cloves; very finely chopped
4tablespoonsChopped flat-leaf parsley
Coarse sea salt and black pepper

Directions

1 Peel off the lemon zest, pile the pieces up a few at a time and cut across into short, thin strips. Heat the oil in a large frying pan.

2 Add the prawns, toss on a high heat for 4-5 minutes and season with cayenne or black pepper and sea salt as they cook. Halve the lemon and squeeze one half over the prawns. Cook until the juice has almost evaporated - you want the prawns to be quite dry.

3 Remove the pan and cool very slightly for about a minute. Sprinkle over the zest, garlic, parsley and ¼ tsp salt and toss. Serve the prawns in a dish with finger bowls and napkins.
