Some of you may never have heard of samphire. Samphire is a plant associated with the coast and grows on rocks. It's kind of like a seaweed I suppose but it doesn't grow in the sea. It is very good for you but can be incredibly salty (as one would expect from a coastal plant). It goes really well with fish of all sorts and can be added to salads.
This is a really quick and easy recipe that you can throw together of an evening when you can't be bothered to do anything fancy.
This recipe serves two.
Ingredients
- 225g peeled and cooked jumbo king prawns
- 140g butter
- 150g green beans
- 115g samphire
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 sprigs parsley
- olive oil
Method
- Put the butter in a skillet and put over a medium heat. While the butter is melting, peel and crush your garlic and add to the skillet. Chop your parsley and add to the skillet.
- Put your prawns into the skillet and cook in the butter for five minutes or until the prawns are heated through, stirring regularly.
- Cut the ends off your green beans. Put your samphire and green beans into a small wok or pan and stir fry with a drizzle of olive oil for a few minutes, just to heat them up.
- Spoon the samphire and green beans onto two plates and place the king prawns on top. Drizzle the garlic butter over the top of it all.
- If you have the energy, I like to serve this with roasted sweet potato.
- Enjoy!
