    CajunPrawnPasta

    It's no secret that my second love is Seafood - and since owning a Thermomix - well you get the idea - more seafood & more chocolate! :)  This dish is a really beautiful meal with just the right amount of spice to compliment the fresh wild caught prawns.  I am salivating just typing this you know!  :)

      Mr 13 made This tonight. We both enjoyed it. It was simple to make and tasty.
      We didn’t have prawns so used marinara mix.
      We didn’t have enough marinara mix so topped it up with heaps of diced veg which mr 13 threw in at the same time as the seafood.
      Used about one and a half tablespoons of the spice and that was just right.

      I made this tonight and it was yum. I just sprinkled with Cajun spice while preparing everything else. I used frozen spinach as I didn't have fresh. This was very easy and tasty!

      Can you use chicken instead of prawns?

        I haven't tried this one with chicken but I would think it would be lovely. If using raw chicken add it with the stock etc but it will need 16 mins cooking. Or if using cooked shredded chicken add it at step 5. I'd love to hear how it goes for you. :)
