Quick and Easy Spicy Prawns

This is my all time favourite recipe for prawns, really simply to make and is ready within a matter of minutes. Ideal as starter for 2 or main course for 1. Serve with couscous or rice and a side salad.

You will need:-

16 raw tiger prawns, with shell removed
1 teaspoon of olive oil
1/2 glass of white wine
2 tablespoons of passata
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
6 spring onions
1 tablespoon of freshly chopped coriander
1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley
1 clove of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon of chili flakes
1 tablespoon of plain flour
1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Put the flour, ground cumin, ground coriander and paprika into a small plastic sandwich bag, shake to mix, then add the prawns, shake well to coat.

In a wok or large frying pan heat the oil, when hot add the chopped garlic, chili flakes, finely chopped spring onions and stir fry for 1 minute.

Add the wine, lemon juice and passata to the pan, stir and cook for further minute. Add the parsley and coriander together with the prawns and lower heat to simmer, cook until prawns turn pink. Season with freshly ground pepper.

Remove from heat and serve hot.
