Tips & Hints:
  • Megann's Kitchen Notes :: Prepare all of your ingredients & measurements before you start cooking as it is a fast tempo once you start! The prawns, chilli, anchovies & lemon zest go in at the same time so I place them all in the one bowl. :: If prawns are not available, use scallops or squid instead. :: When we have fresh chillies in season, I use 1 red chilli chopped finely in lieu of the dried chilli. :: Serve with lemon wedges & extra chilli for those who like a flavour variation. :: If having a dinner party & wanting to impress with this simple dish, add zucchini flowers to the dish by tossing the torn zucchini flowers through at the last minute. :: For more essential top Megann's Kitchen advice, follow onto the Megann's Kitchen web site at megannskitchen.blogspot.com.au ::
