Add the oil to a frying pan and fry the onion, peas, garlic and courgettes for about 5 minutes, until the onions are soft.

Add the rice and the onions and stir gently until coated with the oil. Put in enough of the simmering stock to just cover the rice. Stirring frequently, allow the rice to absorb most of the stock before adding any more. Repeat the process, stirring well and adding stock as required.

Remove from the heat, add the prawns and parsley, then stir in the crème fraiche. Season to taste. Cover and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
