Creamy Linguine with Prawns – another low-fat version!
Posted in Food, Healthy, Pasta, Shellfish, tagged Cooking, Easy, Food, Healthy, Linguine, Low fat, prawns, Recipe on 11 November 2011 | 1 Comment »
Creamy linguine and low-fat don’t usually go in the same sentence but in this case they work. Generally we’re not keen on low-fat substitutes, preferring to have a bit less of the real thing, but reduced-fat crème fraîche is an exception. We really enjoyed this and it feels quite indulgent despite being both low-fat and [...]

A really quick and easy week-night supper with bags of freshness and flavour. It’s also infinitely variable depending on what crunchy vegetables you may have to hand. We would have added a couple of sliced red chillies if we’d had some! Spicy Prawn Soup – to serve 4 1 tbsp sunflower oil 300g bag crunchy [...]

Prawn Salad # 2

We’re mad for prawns these day; mostly because we have a huge bag in the freezer. We’re also mad for avocados; but that’s because they are in season and taste yum at the minute! We even managed to eat this on the patio just before another big, rainy cloud came over. We love summers in [...]

It’s avocado season and we have a big bag of prawns in the freezer. This is one of two prawn and avocado salads we’ve tried in the last few days. The seasoned pistachios make this one a bit special. We loved it. Avocado and prawn salad (Insalata di avocado e gamberetti) 50g pistachio nuts, shelled [...]
Healthy Thai Prawn Stir-fry with Ginger and Scallions

This tastes so much better than it looks and it looked really good on the plate when served, but by that stage we were so starved we ate it instead of taking pics! So much healthier than a Thai takeaway and dead-on tasty. The marinade is a really neat trick which we’ll definitely use again. [...]

Our cooking’s been very healthy this week but tasty too so don’t despair. It’s nice to find an Indian dish which isn’t full of calories and doesn’t take forever to make. This is very nice but do add a bit of salt at the end to bring the flavours out and balance the spice. We [...]

WOO-HA! This is a fandabidozi soup! Jono and me sold lots of wine today and got home late. If I’d have had my way we would have stopped in the pub for grub on the way home. I’m so glad he persuaded me to stick with the plan for Vietnamese soup. If you like prawns [...]
