Instructions

Step 1

Start by melting your butter and add 1tbsp olive oil in a shallow pan

Step 2

Add your chilli powder, garlic, salt, sugar and parsley. Let that cook softly for a few minutes

Step 3

Add your prawns. As they are already cooked we need to make sure we heat them all the way through, so cook for about 7 minutes on each side. Squeeze some lemon juice over the prawns.

Step 4

Once they are cooked, remove the prawns with tongs and put them in a bowl to the side

Step 5

Add your samphire to the pan with the remaining sauce, add olive oil if it needs a bit more

Step 6

Cook the samphire for a few minutes in the pan, use a lid to cover the samphire so it steams slightly.

Step 7

Once the samphire is hot, use your tongs to transfer to a shallow bowl. Top the samphire with your prawns.

Step 8

Pour the rest of the sauce over the prawns, another squeeze of lemon, and season. Enjoy!
