Time 35m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

400 g peeled tiger shrimp, raw (defrosted if frozen)
2 red chilies, deseeded and finely chopped
zest and juice 1 lime
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons oil
200 g puy lentils
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon clear honey
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 bunch coriander, leaves roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Place the prawns in a shallow dish.
  • Mix together half the finely chopped chilli, lime zest and juice, garlic and oil, then pour over the prawns. Cover and chill for 20 mins to marinate.
  • Meanwhile, put the lentils in a pan, cover with twice their depth in water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 15-20 mins until tender. Top up the water if you need to.
  • To make the dressing, put the remaining chopped chilli, the soy, honey and vinegar into a small bowl and stir together. Drain the lentils, then tip into a large bowl. Spoon over almost all the dressing while the lentils are hot, tip in the sesame seeds, then mix well.
  • Heat a frying pan until really hot. Lift the prawns out of the marinade, then fry for 1-2 mins each side until pink and lightly golden. Pour in the marinade and bring to the boil.
  • Fold the chopped coriander through the lentils, then spoon onto serving plates. Top with the prawns and any pan juices.
