Would also make an excellent starter. This pea and prawn combo comes to life with fresh mint, lemon and a touch of garlic.

Ingredients

250g frozen petit pois, defrosted
Juice of half a lemon
Clove garlic, crushed
Few leaves fresh mint, torn
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
Thin baguette, sliced thinly into 12 slices
12 large peeled prawns
Handful fresh pea shoots

Directions

Blitz together the peas, a squeeze of lemon juice, garlic, mint and the oil with seasoning. Chill until ready to serve.
Arrange the bread slices on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Grill until lightly toasted on both sides.
Arrange on a serving platter and top each slice with a spoonful of pea puree and a prawn. Garnish with pea shoots.
