Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 yellow/ brown onion
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 8 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped
- 200 g frozen peas

Instructions
- Step 1: Start by making your stock with boiling water and set it aside while you make the tomato sauce and peel the prawns.
- Step 2: Heat the oil in a high sided skillet or pan over medium heat. Saute the onions and garlic until they are soft and fragrant. Add in the chopped fresh tomatoes, and the chopped red pepper.
- Step 3: Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat it in the tomato sauce. Pour in the vegetable stock, paprika and chilli powder. Add in the prawn and peas.
- Step 4: Bring up to a simmer and cover with a lid. Continue to simmer on low heat for about 12-15 minutes until the stock has been absorbed and the rice is tender and cooked.
- Step 5: Top everything with fresh basil and some lemon slices.
Notes
If you want golden seared prawns, saute them in the pan at the start, transfer to a plate, and stir back in at the end. You can use already peeled prawns. Prawns and shrimp are interchangeable. Add extra chilli powder or chilli flakes for more spice.
