This is a great little tapas for 2 people to share, but you could turn this into a main meal for 2 by simply serving it with your favourite greens or salad on the side.

Ingredients
For the lime mayo
- 80 g mayonnaise
- 1 lime
- small handful coriander leaves finely chopped
For the prawns
- 330 g raw peeled King prawns
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt
- 30 g unsalted butter
- sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Start with the mayo so its out of the way. Simply combine the mayonnaise with the finely grated zest of the lime. Do not discard the lime: instead, slice it in half because we will use it later.
- Finely chop the coriander and stir only half the amount into the mayonnaise. Set the remaining half aside as we will use it later.
- To cook the prawns, remove them from their packaging and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper to remove excess wateriness.
- Place them into a bowl and add the paprika and garlic powder. Toss well to evenly coat.
- Melt the butter in a large non-stick pan or wok over high heat. Cook the prawns until they are no longer grey and translucent.
- Squeeze the juice from both halves of your reserved lime into the pan and allow to cook out (evaporate).
- Serve the prawns (with all the pan juices drizzled over). Season with salt flakes and scatter over the remaining chopped coriander. Dip each plump prawn generously into the delicious lime mayo before devouring!
