STEP 1
To butterfly the I&J Prawns, use a small sharp knife to make a deep slit down the back of the tail, leaving tail intact. Set aside.

STEP 3
Reduce heat to medium, add Leggo's Pesto and stir to coat. Stir through lemon zest and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Spoon prawns over cooked rice, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
