    1 Pat prawns dry and place in a medium-sized bowl. Gently toss with oil, zest and garlic.

    2 Cook spinach following packet directions. Microwave rice following packet directions. In a large bowl, fold cumin and spinach through rice.

    3 Meanwhile, place a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook prawn mixture in two batches for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked. Return all prawns to pan. Add lemon juice and heat for 1 minute while stirring to reduce slightly.

    4 Serve prawns with juice, rice and steamed green vegetables. Garnish with extra lemon zest if preferred.
