GINGER AND GARLIC PRAWNS

Ingredients:

1 pack king prawns with shell

2 tbsp crushed peri peri

2 tsp crushed garlic

2 tsp crushed ginger

3 tbsp tomato puree

Juice of 1 lemon

1 tsp salt

1 cup olive oil

Method:

Clean and slit the prawns leaving the shell on. Marinate in the above ingredients except for the olive oil, leave for 1 hour. In a wok heat the olive oil and place a half of the prawns in the oil and cook but not the marinade. Toss the prawns for 5 min and take out and leave aside, then cook the remaining prawns, again not the marinade. Once all the prawns are cooked pour in the marinade and cook for a few min then add the prawns, toss and sprinkle with dried parsley before serving either on a bed of rice or with fresh crusty bread and chips.

This recipe can also be done with boneless chicken cut into strips.
