About the recipe

As well as lean prawns giving us a nice hit of protein, they contain phosphorus, which is important for good bone health, as is manganese, which we get from the pineapple.

Top Tip

Fresh shell-on prawns are easy to prep if you’ve got the confidence. Peel the prawns, run your knife down the back of each one, so they butterfly as they cook, and remove the veins. Pull off the heads and chuck into the pan for added flavour, removing before you serve. A good fishmonger will do this prep for you.
