We love quick and easy meals that we can have on the table in no time. This recipe has been shared with us by Shanai from Kids Eat by Shanai (kidseatbyshanai.com). Shanai notes, "If you don’t have time to cook the prawns, just buy frozen precooked prawns and add them to the sauce to warm through... will still be delicious and makes it a super quick and easy midweek dinner!"
