- 3 courgettes, diced
- 3 banana shallots, roughly sliced
- 6 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 1 chilli (deseeded if you prefer less heat), finely chopped
- 500g cherry tomatoes
- 400g pack frozen raw king prawns, defrosted
- 1 lemon, zested and cut into wedges
- 400g basmati rice
- 600ml hot chicken stock
- 100ml white wine or dry manzanilla sherry, if you have it
- small handful of parsley, roughly chopped
- garlic mayonnaise, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the chorizo for 5 mins until browned. Transfer to a large baking dish. Add another 1 tbsp of the oil to the pan and cook the courgettes and shallots with a pinch of salt for 15-17 mins, until beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic and chilli and cook for 2 mins until fragrant, then transfer to the baking dish with the tomatoes. Put the prawns in a bowl and coat with the remaining oil and lemon zest, season well and set aside. Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9.
- STEP 2
Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Add to the baking dish and season. Pour over the stock and wine or sherry. Cover with foil and seal well. Bake for 25-30 mins, then remove the foil and scatter the prawns over. Cover again and cook for a further 5 mins until the rice and prawns are cooked and all the liquid has been absorbed. Leave to stand for 5 mins.
- STEP 3
Scatter the parsley over and serve with the lemon wedges and garlic mayo on the side, if you like. Will
keep chilled for up to three days.
