Ingredients
olive oil
12 large Australian Green banana prawns, responsibly sourced
1-2 fresh red chillies
1 bunch of spring onions
4 large handfuls of snow peas
500g ripe tomatoes
2 large handfuls of frozen peas

1-2 lemons
4 slices of quality bread, such as sourdough or ciabatta
Top Tip
To take the flavour up a few notches, rub the surface of the grilled bread with the cut side of a halved garlic clove or cherry tomato – super simple, but incredibly delicious.
Method
This delicious seafood dish looks – and tastes – so impressive, but is super-speedy and simple to make
- 1. Trim and finely slice the chilli and spring onions. Peel, devein and butterfly the prawns.
- 2. Get yourself a large paella pan, casserole pan, wok or sturdy roasting tin. Place over a medium-high heat and pour in 3 tablespoons of oil.
- 3. Once hot, add the prawns and cook for a few minutes to allow them to colour, then sprinkle over the sliced chilli and spring onions.
- 4. Add the snow peas and give the pan a good shake, then add a splash of water. Pop a lid or some tin foil on top and let everything steam for 1 minute. Place a griddle pan on a medium heat to warm up.
- 5. Meanwhile, roughly chop the tomatoes. Remove the lid (or foil) from the pan and add the peas and tomatoes, then drain and add the beans. Stir everything together and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Season to taste.
- 6. Pick and roughly chop the parsley leaves, discarding the stalks, then add to the pan with the juice from 1 lemon, adding a squeeze or two more, if needed.
- 7. Grill the bread on the hot griddle for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until nicely golden. Divide everything between 4 plates, then tuck in. This is delicious served with rice or couscous, if you prefer.
