Tips and Tricks
Use up leftover Christmas prawns in this tasty light dinner. Be sure that the prawns have been continuously refrigerated before use.
If you can’t get spring onions, use brown onions and adjust cooking time so they are thoroughly softened. Use chopped shallots instead of spring onion leaves.
