This elegant dish of prawns in escabèche offers a sophisticated way to enjoy seafood, relying on the traditional Mediterranean technique of marinating cooked fish in a bright, acidic dressing. The combination of distilled vinegar, aromatic bay leaves and pungent garlic creates a light yet punchy flavour profile that beautifully complements the natural sweetness of the large prawns. By gently poaching the shellfish then allowing them to infuse in the seasoned oil, you achieve a succulent texture and a depth of savoury flavour that develops over time.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in heart-healthy fats from the extra-virgin olive oil. It is an excellent choice for a healthy lunch or an impressive dinner party starter that can be prepared well in advance. Serve these chilled prawns alongside a crisp green salad or some steamed seasonal vegetables for a refreshing, nutritious meal that doesn't compromise on taste.

1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

How to make Prawns in Escabèche
Toss together onion, vinegar, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.
Simmer oil, bay leaves, garlic, and peppercorns in a small saucepan 10 minutes, then let stand until ready to use.
Add prawns to a medium pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 3.8L water), then remove from heat and let stand, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain well, then stir into onion mixture along with oil mixture.
