If you’re looking for a bit of a fancy lunch that’s an upgrade from that prawn sarnie, this is the one for you.
The flatbreads are the quickest bread you’ll ever make - no kneading for ages, no proving - just mix the ingredients together, roll out and pan fry.I like to make a double batch of flatbreads, just because I love some leftover flatbread for breakfast, toasted with a bit of salted butter 😍
The garlic prawns and the dip also on take a few minutes to make - and can all be done while the flatbreads are frying.
Next we make the yogurt flatbreads. This is a mixture of Greek yogurt, plain (all-purpose) flour, baking powder and salt. It’s all mixed together, divided into balls, then rolled out flat.The flatbreads are fried in a lightly oiled pan for about 3-4 minutes.
And lastly we make the prawns - frying up chopped chilli and minced garlic in a pan with a little butter and oil. Then we add in raw king prawns, paprika and salt and cook until the prawns are pink and cooked through. Turn off the heat and stir in some freshly chopped coriander (cilantro).
Load those flatbreads up with baby spinach, those lovely garlicky prawns and a nice drizzle of that aromatic yogurt dip.
Ingredient swaps:
Swap the spinach for your favourite leaves - pea-shoots, rocket and baby salad leaves all work great!Swap the yogurt dip with Tzatziki or even RaitaAdd 2 tsp of curry paste to the prawns when frying for an Indian-style take on the recipeSwap the prawns for chicken (will need to be cooked for longer) or a vegetarian swap - such as tofu.
