Garlic Prawn Orzo Bake
King Prawn Garlic Orzo Bake This is a perfect weeknight dish. The simplicity of a tray bake that doesn’t scrimp on flavour. There’s a distinct powerful yet sweet garlic flavour that comes from the PEAT’D sauce pairing perfectly with the sweet meat of the King Prawns.
Serves: 2
30 mins
Ingredients
- 165g of raw, peeled king prawns
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- Small bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 30g of salted butter
- 1 banana shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 150 grams of orzo
- 1 jar of PEAT’D garlic.
- 120ml of fish stock
Method
Step 1
Start by preheating the oven to 200/180 fan.
Step 2
Add the prawns to a small bowl along with the juice and zest from the lemon and half the fresh parsley. Add a good glug of olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Leave to one side to marinate whilst you prepare the orzo.
Step 3
Add the butter to a large sauté or frying pan and place on a medium low heat. Once melted add the shallot and garlic and fry for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 4
Then add the orzo and stir together until combined. Add the jar of PEAT’D Garlic sauce along with the fish stock. Season with salt and pepper and stir together until everything is combined. Pour this into an oven proof dish and cover with tin foil. Place into the centre of the oven and bake for 14 minutes until the orzo is nearly but not quite cooked through.
Step 5
After 14 minutes remove from the oven, take off the tin foil and then spoon over the prawns evenly across the top of the orzo. Pour over the lemony oil that’s in the bottom of the bowl and then place back into the oven for 5 minutes for the prawns to cook through and the orzo to finish cooking.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and finish with the remaining chopped parley to garnish.
