Method

Put the oil in a large, wide pan, with the onion, garlic and celery and fry gently for 5 mins until softened. Stir in the oregano, all-spice and chorizo and cook for a couple of minutes.
Add the tomatoes, stock and Tabasco. Bring to the boil, then leave to simmer, uncovered, for 6-8 mins.
Stir in the rice, cover and cook over a low heat for 15 mins until the rice is just tender and the stock almost absorbed.
4 Stir in the prawns and cook for 2-3 mins until they change from grey to pink. Season. Sprinkle with chopped celery leaves or spring onions to serve. (Not suitable for freezing).
