Prawn Chickpea Parsley Salad Recipes

PRAWN, CHICKPEA & PARSLEY SALAD

Steps:

• Mix prawns with chickpeas and parsley. Add lemon juice, olive oil and some seasoning. Chill until needed. Can be made the night before.

SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, lime zest and mustard. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add the chickpeas, onion, chile and most of the parsley (reserving some for garnish), and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, pulling the pan from the heat briefly if it seems like the garlic is burning.
• Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat with the garlic and oil. Cook until the shrimp are pink all over with a golden crust in parts, stirring and flipping the shrimp halfway through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Turn off the heat, then squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp in the pan, stirring to combine and scraping up anything on the bottom of the pan to coat the shrimp.
• Serve the shrimp on top of the salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.

CHICKPEAS WITH PRAWNS

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas in a pot and cover with several inches of water. Simmer until tender, about 2 hours.
• Towards the end of the cooking time for the chickpeas, cook the onions, peppers and garlic in some olive oil in a large saute pan, stirring occasionally. Add the prawns, bay leaf and some salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the prawns are cooked through.
• Drain the chickpeas and add them to the prawns along with a splash of brandy. Cook briefly to let the bitterness evaporate. Serve.

SMOKY PRAWN, FISH & CHICKPEA ONE-POT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole over a medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook the onion for 10-15 mins until soft. Stir in the garlic, paprika and chorizo, and sizzle for a few minutes more until fragrant and the chorizo has released its oil.
• Add the wine and saffron, turn up the heat to medium and bubble until most of the liquid has reduced, about 5 mins. Pour in the tomatoes and the juice from the can, crushing the tomatoes a little with the back of a spoon, then half-fill the can with water and pour this in, too. Add the bay leaves, some seasoning and the sugar, then partially cover with a lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 mins until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has reduced a little.
• Tip in the chickpeas and return to a simmer, then gently place the fish fillets on top of the stew. Cover and cook for 3 mins until the fish is just opaque. Scatter the prawns around the fish fillets, then cover again and cook over a medium-low heat for another 5 mins, turning the prawns after 3 mins, until pink and cooked through. Scatter with the parsley, then serve in bowls with crusty bread for mopping up the stew.
