Instructions

Prep all ingredients: chop zucchini, spinach and measure out the extra virgin olive oil.

Season the prawns with salt and pepper, then braise over medium-high heat until well browned, about 8 minutes.

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

Stir in extra virgin olive oil, parmesan, pecorino romano and cook for another 2 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 12 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.
