For the samphire
Cook the rock samphire leaves in boiling unsalted water for around 6 minutes, drain and refresh.
To make the sauce
In a deep sauté pan, reduce the vegetable stock by ¾. Whisk in the butter and then the oil and season to taste. Add the prawns and cook on a low heat to poach the prawns.
