One-Pan Garlic & Red Pepper Prawns

These heavenly shell-on prawns with a sweet and herby red pepper sauce are so practical to prepare and a real treat! Lots of garlic, lemon and coriander are the key to making this even more special. 

Ingredients

- 10-12 king prawns, clean and shell on

- 2 sweet pointed red peppers

- 4 red chillies

- 2 lemons

- 4 cloves garlic

- 1 generous bunch of coriander

- 1 tablespoon salted butter

- Olive oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Pre-heat the over to 210C / 190C Fan

2. Clean the prawns - we like to use a pair of scissors to cut the shells vertically in the middle on both sides, making them easier to both clean and peel after cooked

3. Finely slice the garlic and slice the sweet red peppers to a medium thickness

4. Drizzle the prawns, shell on, with a generous glug of olive oil, juice of one lemon, salt and pepper to taste

5. Add the garlic to the prawns and mix with your hands to evenly coat them in the juices

6. Heat a cast iron pan or oven-proof skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and the sweet red peppers, forming a bed

7. Add the chilli peppers whole and the other lemon sliced vertically in quarters

8. Top with the prawns and pour the leftover juices on top

9. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for c. 15 mins or until the prawns have fully turned pink

10. Remove from the oven, stir in the butter and finely chopped coriander

11. Tip: Serve with fresh crusty bread to mop up the delicious sauce.

12. Enjoy!
