12 large shrimp, peeled and butterflied
1-2 fresh red chillies, finely sliced

4 large handfuls of snow peas or sugar snap peas
4 large handfulls of shelled peas

[instructions]Get yourself a large panella or casserole pan, wok or sturdy roasting pan. Put it on the stovetop and get it nice and hot. Pour in 3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil, let it heat up and immediately add your shrimp. Allow them to color on one side and then turn them over, sprinkling them first with the chili, then with the spring onions. Add the snow peas and peas to the pan, give it a shake, then add a splash of water, put a lid (or some aluminum foil) on top and let everything steam for a minute.
Remove the lid (or foil) and add the lima beans and tomatoes. Give it all a stir, simmer for a couple of minutes until softened, then correct the seasoning, throw in your chopped parsley and add lemon juice to taste. Serve in the middle of the table – wonderful with rice, couscous or simply on bits of grilled bread.[/instructions]
