Hot and sour prawns with Asian noodle salad

Preparation method

1. Split the prawns down the middle and put them, split side up, in a bowl.

2. Chop two of the chillies and half the ginger. Add half the vegetable oil to the chopped chilli and ginger. Pour this over the prawns and mix well.

3. Place the prawns cut side down on a hot griddle pan. Turn the prawns after two minutes. At this point, pour half the lime juice and zest over them and leave to cook for another two minutes.
