Instructions

Prep all ingredients: chop zucchini, basil and measure out the parmesan.

Season the prawns with salt and pepper, then roast over medium-high heat until well browned, about 10 minutes.

Add zucchini, basil to the pan and cook until softened, 7 minutes.

Stir in parmesan, balsamic vinegar, pecorino romano, fresh basil and cook for another 1 minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, prepare the polenta according to package instructions and set aside.

Combine everything in the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer for 11 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of citrus if needed.

Serve hot, over polenta, garnished with fresh herbs.
