Serves 4
You’ll need: 3 Tbsp lemon juice; 2 Tbsp dry white wine; 2 tsp olive oil; 2 Tbsp garlic paste; 400g shrimp; 2 cups McCain French stir fry; 1 bay leaf; ¼ tsp crushed chilli; ¼ teaspoon salt to taste; 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
How to:
Combine lemon juice, wine, olive oil and garlic in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
Drain well, reserving marinade. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook, turning once, until barely pink, about 40 seconds per side; transfer to a plate.
Add McCain French Stir fry, bay leaf, crushed red pepper and the reserved marinade to the pan; continue to fry until no visible water in the pan.
Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the pan and heat through. Season with salt, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
