Instructions

Season the prawns and roast them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 8 minutes.

Add the garlic, basil and porcini mushrooms, cooking until softened, about 7 minutes.

Stir in the fresh basil, parmesan, extra virgin olive oil and pecorino romano for a final minute.

Cook the polenta separately, stirring until thickened.

Let the prawns simmer gently for about 5 minutes so they stay tender and the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the polenta, garnished with fresh herbs.
