More Simple Comfort Food - Prawns

As I have said before, keep prawns in your freezer.
They are as cheap as chips and defrost quickly, delicious and good source of protein

Once again, using what was in the house, I made this dish.
Only took the time it takes, to peel, chop and cook potatoes

Quantities are not necessary I'll leave that up to how greedy you are

I used
1 large potato peeled and cubed
1/2 cup frozen peas

Couple of hundred grams of prawns
Olive oil
Zest of a lemon
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large tomato chopped


First thaw the prawns
Toss with olive oil, tomatoes
S & P and lemon zest

Cook your potatoes until just tender
Add peas to same pot and  cook for further 3 minutes
Drain

Meanwhile while the potatoes are cooking
Heat oven to 210C  
Throw prawns into oven
Cook exactly 6 mins
Remove from oven and set aside until potatoes are ready

Toss everything together, including the juice from the prawns

Serve
Simple, quick and delicious
