Chef says: “A true crowd-pleaser, this dish captures the essence of summer in a single bite. With a nice mix of flavours and textures, it’s incredibly simple to prepare, making it an ideal choice for gatherings. The rice provides a comforting carb base while the juicy prawns add a generous dose of protein.

1. Heat the oil in a HexClad 30cm Hybrid Pan over medium heat. Add the chorizo, onion, pepper, and garlic, and cook until the onion and pepper are softened and the chorizo has released its oil – about 5 minutes.
