    Cajun Prawn Risotto - Week 35, 2015

    Jump to recipe

    Last week on my website, I published a recipe for Cajun Spice Mix.  I'm really enjoying using the mix in various recipes.  I've always enjoyed prawns and this cajun spice really makes it lovely with everyone scraping their plates wanting a second helping.  :)

    If you enjoy this recipe make sure  you try my Thai Red Curry Risotto.
