• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 heaped tablespoon mango chutney

Method

1. 1

   Quickly pull the legs and tails off the prawns and peel off the shells, leaving the heads on for bonus flavour.

3. 3

   Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat.

4. 4

   Peel and very finely slice the garlic, fry with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until crisp, then scoop out and put aside, leaving the garlicky oil behind.

5. 5

   Stir the curry powder into the oil, then add the prawns.

6. 6

   Fry for 4 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through, tossing regularly.

7. 7

8. 8

   Scatter over the crispy garlic, finely grate over half the lime zest and serve with lime wedges, for squeezing over.
