Method
- Grate the zest from half the orange into a bowl, then add the prawns and ½ tbsp of the oil. Season and toss to coat. Slice the peel off the orange, cut the flesh into discs, then put in a large bowl, squeezing over any juice from the peel (discard the peel).
- Thinly slice the fennel and add to the orange slices along with the remaining oil, the mustard and vinegar. Season, then toss together.
- Heat a non–stick frying pan over a medium-high heat, add the prawns
and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until opaque and cooked through. - Mix the parsley and beetroot into the large bowl, then arrange on a
platter or divide between 2 plates. Top with the hot prawns, then serve.
