Roasted Prawns with Chilli Gremolata

This vibrant dish of roasted prawns with chilli gremolata is a celebration of fresh, punchy flavours. By gently infusing olive oil with garlic, bay leaves and red chillies, the prawns take on a deep, aromatic warmth in the oven. The addition of a zesty gremolata—made with fresh coriander, flat-leaf parsley and lemon zest—provides a bright, herbaceous contrast that lifts the entire meal without the need for heavy sauces.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on lean protein and heart-healthy fats, making it a nutritious choice for a light midweek supper or an impressive starter. The combination of heat from the chillies and the citrus notes ensures every bite is satisfyingly bold. Serve these prawns hot from the oven with a crisp green salad or roasted Mediterranean vegetables for a complete, balanced meal.
