Lime and Chilli Prawns

 

 200 gms  Cooked King Prawns
4 Spring Onions very finely sliced
Good handful of Flat Leaf Parsley, chopped.
Handful of Coriander, chopped.
Half a Red Pepper, finely diced.
Half a Yellow Pepper, finely diced
1 Red Chilli, seeds removed very finely chopped.
1 Garlic Glove, crushed
Juice and Zest of a Lime - if it's small use two.
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Good quality sea salt such as Cornish sea salt.
Cracked Black Pepper.


 You have done the hard part of this in the preparation of the ingredients. Whisk the olive oil with the lime juice and zest. Add salt and black pepper to your taste. Put the herbs, peppers.garlic and onion into the dressing and fold in the prawns. Leave for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to amalgamate the flavours. If you want to prep this a couple of hours ahead then don't put the dressing on until the  last 15 to 30 minutes so as not to pickle everything. Cooks tip - Always use good quality salt and pepper. Refined table salt is awful. Crack your pepper in a pestle and mortar rather than grinding.
