Ingredients

• 500 grams large prawns (peeled and deveined, tails on)
• 200 grams fava beans (fresh or frozen)
• 200 grams artichoke hearts (quartered, canned or fresh)
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 120 milliliters dry white wine
• 100 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 loaf crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh fava beans, blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Remove the outer skins and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the prawns with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Sear them in the skillet for 2–3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the prawns and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Sauté the minced garlic and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and let the wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, fava beans, and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and start to release their juices.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the lemon juice. Simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 8

Return the prawns to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes to reheat them.

Step 9

Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Serve the prawns and vegetables in their sauce with crusty bread on the side, if desired.
