Heat 60ml (4tbsp) oil in a frying pan; cook the garlic until slightly golden. Fry the squid quickly in batches, keeping it warm. Fry the prawns until they're just pink, then set aside with the squid.

Place the lemon rind and juice in a pan, adding any juices from the squid and prawns. Bring to the boil, then bubble for 3–4min or until syrupy. Return the squid and prawns to the pan with the remaining oil and parsley and toss together. Season and serve warm, garnished with herbs.
