Instructions
1 Prep orzo
- Boil the measured water for the orzo.
- Add the stock cube and boiled water to a jug and set aside - this is the stock.
- Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the onions.
- Slice the zucchini into half-moons.
2 Simmer
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 5 min or until softened.
- Add the tomato paste, zucchini and orzo and fry for 30 sec further.
- Pour in the stock and bring it to a boil. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Simmer for 15 min, stirring occasionally until the orzo is soft. Season with salt to taste.
Tip! Occasionally stirring the orzo stops it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
3 Prep
- Meanwhile, peel and mince the garlic.
- Roughly chop half of the basil leaves and reserve the rest for garnish.
4 Fry prawns
- Drain the prawns on kitchen paper.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the prawns with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Fry for 2-3 min until pink and cooked through.
- Transfer the prawns to a plate. Reserve the pan.
5 Make garlic butter
- Return the reserved pan to a medium heat with a second drizzle of oil.
- Once hot fry the garlic for 1 min.
- Add the measured water and simmer for 3-5 min or until the sauce begins to reduce and thicken slightly.
- Once reduced, remove the pan from the heat and add the butter, the chopped basil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Mix until the sauce thickens up slightly.
- Return the prawns to the pan.
Tip! Finishing the sauce with the butter once taken off the heat creates a beautifully thick, glossy texture.
6 Serve
- Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the Parmesan and black pepper.
- Serve the Mediterranean Lemon Garlic Prawns with Creamy Tomato Parmesan Orzo.
- Garnish with the remaining basil and serve any remaining lemon to the side.
- Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the prawns.
