Creamed Corn with Harissa Prawns

35 Minutes | easy | Serves 2-4

The sweetness of the creamed corn and the natural sweetness of the prawns works really well together in this speedy BBQ recipe. We use harissa to give the prawns a kick of chilli heat that adds another dimension to the dish. Garnish with plenty of fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime, if you like.

Ingredients

  • 12 king prawns
  • 1 tablespoon harissa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Oil, for cooking
  • ½ onion, finely chopped

  • 1 handful coriander leaves
  • 4 tablespoons single cream
  • 40g butter

6.

Serve the cooked prawns on top of the creamed corn with the remaining harissa oil and coriander.

7.

Harissa makes a quick and easy flavour paste for these prawns, but you could also use curry paste to give them a big boost of flavour.
