This dish brings all the sunshine vibes, packed with the zesty flavour of lime, the sweet, smokey hit of charred sweetcorn and the salty goodness of feta. Juicy prawns are a perfect match, but chunky pieces of salmon would also work well.

Ingredients
750g
new potatoes, halved
2tsp.
vegetable oil
2
corn cobs
200g
crème fraîche
2tsp.
sweet smoked paprika, plus extra to sprinkle
Juice 2 limes, plus extra wedges/slices to serve
150g
feta, crumbled
200g
raw, peeled jumbo or king prawns
Small handful coriander leaves, roughly chopped
2
spring onions, finely sliced
Directions
Step 1Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and simmer for 15min, or until tender. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2Meanwhile, brush the oil all over the corn. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over high heat. Cook the corn for 15min, turning regularly, or until tender and charred. Remove skillet/frying pan from the heat.
Step 3Slice the kernels off the cobs: hold a cob upright (on its end) on a board and shave off kernels with a large knife. Repeat with second cob.
Step 4Return skillet/frying pan to the heat. Add the crème fraîche, paprika, lime juice, 100g feta, the potatoes and most of the corn (reserving a little to garnish) with 50ml just-boiled water and some seasoning (it won’t need much salt, as the feta is salty). Bring to a simmer and bubble for 5min, adding the prawns for the final 2min, stirring occasionally, until the feta has melted and the prawns are opaque.
Step 5Sprinkle over the coriander, spring onions, the reserved feta and corn, and a little extra paprika and/or freshly ground black pepper. Serve with extra lime for squeezing over.
This recipe would also make a delicious brunch. Serve with fried eggs for an extra protein hit.
