Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Defrost the prawns, you can do this overnight at the bottom of the fridge in a covered bowl or in a bowl of cold water if you are short on time.
Step 2
Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the chorizo for 5 mins until browned. Transfer to a large baking dish. Add a little more oil to the pan and cook the courgettes and shallots with a pinch of salt for 15-17 mins, until beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic and chilli and cook for 2 mins, then transfer to the baking dish with the tomatoes. Put the prawns in a bowl and coat with a dash more oil and lemon zest, season well and set aside. Heat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas 9.
Step 3
Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Add to the baking dish and season. Pour over the stock and wine or sherry. Cover with foil and seal well. Bake for 25-30 mins, then remove the foil and scatter the prawns over. Cover again and cook for a further 5 mins until the rice and prawns are cooked and all the liquid has been absorbed. Leave to stand for 5 mins.
Step 4
Scatter the parsley over and serve with the lemon wedges and garlic mayo on the side, if you like. Will keep chilled for up to three days.
