A little spin on the classic "Organic Surf and Turf" which traditionally involves lobster, this tantalising version using prawns really does taste as good as it looks, maybe even better! A classic pepper steak drizzled in a thick, dairy free, smoky paprika sauce, will add a simple decadence to your week. Treat yourself, or your loved ones this weekend.

Instructions
- First let's marinade the prawns. In a medium sized bowl add in the prawns, all the spices and the lemon juice. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes while you make the steaks.
- To each steak sprinkle over the salt and pepper. Rub into the surface of the steak with your fingers and ensure to coat well. Flip over the steak and use the remainder of the salt and pepper to repeat the process on the other side.
- Heat a small cast iron skillet or non stick fry pan on a medium heat, then add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the steak. Cook for 3 minutes on each side for a perfectly pink medium rare steak. (Feel free to adjust the cook time slightly to your preference.) Once cooked turn off the heat and remove from the pan or the steak will continue to cook.
- Now for the prawns. In a small saucepan heat the coconut oil, when hot add the onions. Cook until the onion starts to turn translucent then add the prawns. Give it all a quick stir before adding the coconut milk.
- Simmer on low until the prawns have turned pink in colour. Then you are ready to plate everything up.
- Serve the steak and prawns with some steamed green beans, or even some classic baked potatoes. Make sure to drizzle everything in that delicious paprika flavoured sauce.
- Enjoy!
