How to make Garlicky Black-Pepper Prawns and Black-Eyed Peas

Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until browned but not crisp. Transfer bacon to a plate, then tear into small pieces.

Cook spring onions, carrot, celery, pepper, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, red-pepper flakes, 1/8 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in fat in skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are pale golden, about 10 minutes. Add black-eyed peas and broth and simmer 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Season prawns with 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons black pepper. Cook prawns with garlic, stirring occasionally, until just opaque (prawns will not be fully cooked), about 3 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil, then briskly simmer 2 minutes. Add bacon and black-eyed-pea mixture and simmer until just heated through (mixture will be juicy). Discard bay leaves.
