MARTIN POOLE

Serves 4

55g sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil)
4 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, sliced
500g king prawns, shelled
2 tsp Turkish pepper flakes or smoked paprika
½ tsp fresh black pepper
Sea salt
Juice of half a lemon
Handful of roughly choppedflat-leaf parsley leaves
Crusty bread, to serve

1 Heat a frying pan over a high heat and add the sun-dried tomatoes, skin-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until blistered. Remove from the heat and set aside. Once cool enough to touch, finely slice.

2 Allow the pan to cool, then reheat over a medium heat and melt the butter and oil. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the prawns and fry for 1-2 minutes until half cooked. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, pepper flakes or paprika, black pepper and a pinch of salt. Fry for 1-2 minutes, or until the prawns are coral-coloured and cooked through.

3 Mix in the lemon and parsley and serve with crusty bread.
