Ingredients

For the Prawns

  • 500g raw, peeled king prawns
  • 1 tbsp roughly chopped coriander
  • 1 tbsp pink peppercorns
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Zest and juice of 2 limes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

For the lime mayonnaise

  • 100g mayonnaise
  • Juice of 1 lime

Method

  • Using a pestle and mortar, grind the peppercorns and salt into a coarse powder.
  • Put the lime zest and juice into a large bowl, then stir in the olive oil and pink pepper mixture.
  • Add the prawns and, using clean hands, toss gently until they are well coated.
  • Mix the mayonnaise and lime juice together in a small bowl.
  • Place a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium–high heat and, when very hot, add the prawns. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring regularly, until all the prawns are pink and cooked through.
  • Tip the prawns onto a platter, sprinkle with the coriander and serve immediately with the lime mayonnaise and a big green salad.

Chef’s Tip: Pink peppercorns aren’t technically peppercorns at all; they’re actually a type of berry, but they have a peppery taste and aroma, and, although a bit milder, can be used in many of the same dishes as regular pepper.
