Cooking steps
1
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Quarter the lime.
- Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
- Trim and roughly chop the scallion.
2
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, fry the chorizo and pepper until the pepper starts to soften, 3-4 mins.
- Drizzle in some oil (if required) then add the cumin, paprika and garlic. Fry until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add the tomato paste and orzo and cook, stirring, 1-2 mins.
3
- Add 400ml water (per 2P), ½ tsp sugar (per 2P), ½ tsp salt (per 2P) and a knob of butter.
- Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the orzo is al dente, 15-20 mins. Stir every 3-4 mins to prevent sticking.
- Add prawns for final 5 mins of cooking time.
- Once cooked, season to taste with salt, pepper and lime juice. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. Prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
4
- Stir a knob of butter and half the chopped scallion through the orzo.
- Divide your creamy orzo between bowls.
- Top with remaining lime wedges for squeezing over.
- Finish with a sprinkling of remaining chopped scallion.
