Toss in 1½ teaspoons of the turmeric and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the base of a tagine or a large, heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat, stir in the onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 1,5 minutes until beginning to colour.
Add the prawns and cook for 3 minutes until they turn pink, then stir in the remaining turmeric and the paprika.
Add the sugar, tomatoes and half the herbs.
Cover and cook gently for 10 minutes.
Stir in the fennel, re-cover and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Season, garnish with the remaining herbs and serve with crusty bread or couscous, if liked.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
For spicy turmeric & lime prawns,
heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan or tagine over a medium heat, stir in 2 chopped garlic cloves, 1,5 deseeded and chopped chillies and 1 tablespoon chopped preserved lemon rind and cook for 1,5 minutes to let the flavours mingle. Stir in 450 g raw peeled prawns and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in 2 teaspoons turmeric and the juice of 2 limes, heat and season. Garnish with a chopped bunch of coriander and serve with warm flatbreads or couscous.
