Method
Thaw the prawns if frozen and pat them dry. Slice the courgettes into thin coins, halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the garlic.
Heat half of the olive oil in a large pan over high heat and cook the courgette coins for 5 minutes, turning, until golden at the edges. Tip them onto a plate and season with salt.
Add the rest of the oil and the garlic to the same pan, then the prawns. Cook for 2 minutes, turning once, until pink.
Pour in the white wine, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the wine has almost gone.
Return the courgettes to the pan, toss for 1 minute and finish with torn basil. Serve with a slice of toasted bread if you like.
