King prawn tartare

Steps

1. Make sure the king prawns have been properly frozen for safety, then thaw them.
2. Remove the heads, peel off the shells, and make a shallow cut along the back of each prawn to remove the intestinal vein. Rinse well under cold running water.
3. Cut the king prawns into small pieces and transfer them to a bowl.
4. Wash the lemon well and grate part of the zest directly over the prawns.
5. Halve the lemon and lime and squeeze their juice over the tartare.
6. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and a generous grinding of pepper. Mix well.
7. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
8. Serve in individual bowls, finishing with a little more pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Notes

• Use an untreated (unwaxed) lemon since the zest is grated straight into the dish.
• Marinated king prawn tartare should be eaten as soon as possible, and in any case within a few hours.
