1 Cook the rice following pack instructions and set aside. Meanwhile, heat 3 tbsp of the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat, then add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Tip in the prawns and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, around 2-3 mins on each side.
2 Squeeze the lemon juice over the prawns, sprinkle with lemon zest and half the parsley, then stir to combine.
3 Add the cooked rice to the pan along with the remaining olive oil. Toss to coat. Cook for 1 min, then season. Remove from the heat, top with the remaining parsley and serve with the extra lemon pieces for squeezing over.
