Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red chilli
  • 1 unwaxed lemon
  • 1 garlic
  • small bunch parsley
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped marjoram
  • 350g/12oz prepared squid
  • 20 raw peeled king prawns
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Warm the oil in a wok or similarly wide, capacious pan, then add the chopped chilli (with seeds if you like it fiery) and lemon zest, turning them as they sizzle in the hot oil – this is a moment of fragrant joy.
  • Now grate the garlic and add it, along with about a third of the chopped parsley and marjoram and give a quick stir, before tumbling in the prepared squid and prawns. Stir-fry in the pan for 2–3 minutes, or until the seafood is just cooked through.
  • Add the juice of half the lemon and most of the remaining herbs and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds or so. Taste to see if you need any salt or more lemon juice, before turning the seafood fritti out onto a warm platter and scattering it with the last remaining bits of chopped parsley and marjoram.
