Make! Spicy prawns with artichoke salad

When I have prawns in my fridge, I usually can't resist using them to make a classic linguine involving loads of chilli, garlic and olive oil. However, during the amazing heatwave we are currently experiencing, my cravings are for something much lighter but equally tasty.

Today I concocted this simple and delicious prawn dish which took just a few minutes to put together. The salad is artichoke hearts (from a jar), baby plum tomatoes and cucumber all diced and tossed together. The prawns were pan fried in chilli-infused olive oil. Then I dressed everything with a liberal drizzling of garlic-infused olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Yum - it was such a perfect, fresh and light meal for a day like this.

What kind of thing do you like to eat on hot days?
