PRAWN AND CHIVE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a large metal whisk. Season with a little salt and some freshly ground black pepper, then stir in the snipped chives. Drain the prawns in a sieve, then tip them on to some kitchen paper to soak up any excess moisture.
• Brush a small non-stick frying pan with just enough oil to lightly coat the base and place it over a medium heat. Pour the eggs into the frying pan. As the eggs begin to set, use a wooden spoon to draw the cooked egg towards the centre. Do this 5 or 6 times, working pour way around the pan. As the cooked egg is moved, the uncooked egg will run into the gaps and begin to cook.
• Scatter the prawns over the omelette and cook for a further 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are just set. Season with a little more pepper then carefully loosen the sides with a heatproof palette knife and fold the omelette over. Slide it on to a warmed plate and serve with a large, lightly dressed salad.

GARLIC PRAWNS

Steps:

• In a glass dish, mix together the olive oil, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, orange juice, basil and white wine. Add the prawns, and stir to coat. Cover, and let marinate for 1 hour.
• Heat an outdoor grill to high heat.
• Thread prawns onto skewers. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until pink.
• If desired, reserve marinade; transfer to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve with prawns.

PRAWN & BROCCOLI ASIAN OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat eggs and lemon juice together and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 2 mins. Add prawns, chilli and garlic and cook until the broccoli is just done. Tip everything out onto a plate and give the pan a wipe.
• Heat a drop more oil in the pan. Pour in half the egg mix and swirl it around to make a thin omelette. Flip over to cook the other side, then lift onto a serving plate and keep warm. Quickly make another omelette. Add half the prawn mix to each, roll up and serve drizzled with some oyster sauce, if you like.

LEMONY PRAWN & COURGETTE TAGLIATELLE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the courgette for 4-5 mins, then stir through the garlic and chilli.
• Cook the tagliatelle following pack instructions. Drain, reserving some of the cooking water.
• Add the prawns to the courgette mixture, and cook for 2 mins until pink. Toss through the tagliatelle, the lemon zest and juice, parsley, some seasoning and a splash of the reserved cooking water. Divide between bowls and serve.
