These prawns can be made in no time at all, the marinating takes just a little longer but worth the wait.
Serves 2, Preparation 5 mins + 1 h marinating, Cooking less than 5 mins
- 300g peeled (shell-off) prawns, fresh or frozen
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- zest and juice 1 orange
- 2 tbsp EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- White ground pepper, a pinch
- 1 tbsp of rice flour or maize flour for thickening
Method
Season the prawns in a bowl with orange juice and its zest, white ground pepper, 2 tbsp of EVOO and a tsp of chilli flakes, leave them to marinate at least 1 hour.
Save a bit of the juice for later.
Heat a non-stick frying pan, add the juice where prawns have been marinated, as soon as it boil add a tbsp of rice or maise flour and whisk quickly for thickening it. If too thick just add the juice you saved. Add prawns, cook quickly for about 1-2 mins no more by flipping prawns in the pan.
Remove from the frying-pan, serve drizzling them with the sauce.

Sounds really good – love the combination of orange and shrimp, and the chiles will add incredible zing! Will be trying soon! (After we get back from Rome!)
