Prawns may just be our new favourite thing. I can’t get over how quick they are to make. My husband is a very recent prawn convert, ever since he tried my Clean Eating Coriander Lime Pesto Prawns, so I thought I would quickly try another recipe and see if he was still a fan. He was!
These Clean Eating Cajun Prawns are so tasty, definite man pleasing food. They are sweet and spicy and packed with plenty of flavour. We had planned to eat them with some quinoa but we ended up serving them with some wholegrain spelt spaghetti and salad. (It was quicker and we were hungry!). You could eat them with any whole grain though and they would taste fantastic!
