Piri-piri prawns

John Shute from Just For Starters
Spicy Portuguese piri-piri sauce (sold in supermarkets) adds a chilli kick to king prawns in this simple but luxurious recipe

Piri-piri prawns

Method

1. Mix together the piri-piri sauce, chilli powder and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Add the raw king prawns, coat thoroughly, cover and marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.

2. Tear the watercress and coriander into sprigs and arrange on a large serving plate.

3. Heat a heavy frying pan until hot. Dry-fry the king prawns, seasoning with a little sea salt, until they turn pink and opaque, around 3 minutes.

4. Serve at once on the watercress and coriander.

Real Cork recommends: enjoy with a light white wine from the Alentejo
