  • 2 ounces walnuts, toasted
  • 2 1/2 ounces Parmesan, grated
  • 1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 lemon, quartered, for garnish

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. To an oven proof braiser, add the oil, zucchini, onion, garlic, chili flakes, and salt. Roast until golden brown, 10 minutes.

  • Step 2

  • Step 3

    Take the dish out, add the remaining stock and stir. Roast for a further 5-10 minutes, making sure the liquid is absorbed.

  • Step 4

    Add the king prawns to the orzo mix and cook for 5 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Take the dish out of the oven, mix in the Parmesan, lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper as needed.

    Garnish with the toasted walnuts, arugula and quartered lemon. Enjoy!
