INGREDIENTS

80g fresh kataifi pastry

Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing

8 large green prawns, peeled and deveined, tail intact

½ preserved lemon, rind only, very finely chopped

METHOD

Preheat oven to 230°C.

Gently separate pastry into 8 pieces and place each piece in a long thin strip on a clean, dry work bench.

Brush with oil.

Place a prawn at one end of each piece and sprinkle with preserved lemon.

Roll the pastry around each prawn to encase it all in a thin, even layer; you may not need all of the pastry, trim off any excess.

Place prawns onto a baking paper-lined baking tray and brush with more oil.

Place in the oven for about 4 minutes, until pastry is crisp and lightly coloured, and prawns are just opaque.

Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.
