• 12-16 jumbo prawns

• 1 small shallot, finely chopped

• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

• 1 fresh Thai chilli, halved, seeded and finely chopped

juice and half the lime zest. Whisk for a minute to blend well. Set aside for 30 minutes.

With a sharp knive, split the prawns lengthwise, leaving the shells on.

Dump the prawns and the marinade into a hot wok or other large heavy pan and saute for 1-2 minutes, or until the

prawns are opaque and the shells have turned pink.
