Add the oil to the pan and gently fry the garlic for a minute, then add the tomatoes with the baharat and cook for another couple of minutes, until the tomatoes are beginning to soften and the spices are fragrant.

  2. Turn the heat right up, add the prawns with a generous amount of sea salt and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, until the prawns are cooked through. Add the spinach, lemon juice and coriander, cook for 30 seconds more then remove from the heat and serve immediately.
