3 Method / Steps
Step 1
Bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the polenta in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until incorporated. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Stir through half the butter. Season.
Step 2
Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add the remaining butter and cook for 2 minutes or until browned. Add the oil, honey, shallot, garlic, Cajun spice mix and paprika. Stir briefly until combined then quickly add the prawns and cook, tossing, for 3-4 minutes or until the prawns curl and change colour.
Step 3
Divide the polenta and prawns among serving plates. Sprinkle with oregano and serve with lemon cheeks.
