Peri Peri King Prawns With Spicy Rice And Lemony Salad

Cut your red chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Cut your lemon[s] in half

Boil a kettle

Peel and finely dice your brown onion[s]

Deseed your sweet pointed pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and finely dice

Dissolve your vegetable stock mix, ground turmeric and half your tomato paste (you'll use the rest later!) in 225ml [300ml] [450ml] boiled water – this is your tomato stock

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the diced onion and diced pepper and cook for 3-4 min or until they've softened slightly

Add your white long grain rice, tomato stock and half the chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving – this is your spicy rice

Meanwhile, combine your white wine vinegar, chipotle paste, remaining chopped chilli (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) and remaining tomato paste with the juice of half your lemon[s] in a large mixing bowl

Add a drizzle of olive oil and season with a generous pinch of salt, then give everything a good mix up – this is your peri peri sauce

Heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium-high heat

Once hot, drain and add your king prawns with the peri peri sauce and cook for 4-5 min or until the prawns are cooked through – these are your peri peri king prawns

Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon into 2 wedges per person

Wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and shred finely

Combine your mayo with the juice of 1 lemon wedge per person and a drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl – this is your lemon mayo

Add the shredded lettuce to the bowl with the lemon mayo, then give everything a good mix up – this is your lemony salad
