This is the noodle equivalent of surf and turf you've been looking for.

1/2 cup (125ml) peanut oil
6 garlic cloves, crushed
24 large green king prawns, peeled, cleaned, deveined, tails left on
2 good-quality dried chorizo, sliced
3 red (Asian) eschalots, thinly sliced
1 bunch basil, leaves picked
2 1/2 tbs massaman curry paste
200g cooked udon noodles
Thinly sliced long green shallots
Thinly sliced chillies

Method

1.

Place half of the oil with the garlic and prawns in a large bowl. Season and toss to combine. Heat remaining oil in a large wok over high heat.
2.

Add the chorizo, eschalot, and half of the basil leaves and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the chorizo starts to brown.
3.

Add the prawns and massaman paste and stir-fry for a further 5-6 minutes until prawns are just cooked.
4.

Toss through the udon, season to taste and stir-fry for a further 1-2 minutes until noodles have warmed through.
5.

Transfer to a large platter and scatter with remaining basil leaves. Remove long green shallots and chillies from iced water and drain on paper towel.
6.

Scatter over noodles to serve.
