Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 16 large green tiger prawns, halved (see note)
- 80 gm salted butter, chopped
- 3 corn cobs, kernels removed
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon, plus wedges to serve
- 1 bunch spinach, trimmed
- 120 gm baby kale leaves
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
- 2 tbsp chopped tarragon leaves
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
Method
- 1Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add prawns and cook, turning until prawns just start to change colour (3 minutes). Transfer prawns to a plate, loosely cover and keep warm.
- 2Add butter, corn, garlic, mustard and lemon rind to pan and cook, stirring, until the butter is foamy (3 minutes).
- 3Add spinach and kale to the pan and cook, tossing until the greens are just wilted (2-3 minutes). Add the herbs and onion and toss to coat in the mustard butter. Return the prawns to the pan with the lemon juice, toss well to coat then season to taste.
- 4Divide greens mixture between plates, top with prawns and corn and serve with extra lemon wedges.
Notes
To halve prawns, place leg-side up and slice lengthways through the body. Use kitchen scissors to cut through the head. Remember to remove the digestive tract.
