If you’re a Skinnymixer, you know I don’t eat seafood… and I definitely do not eat prawns. For a really long time I also refused to cook seafood in my Thermomix because I felt like I could NEVER get it clean enough!
Since I got a dishwasher (best.thing.ever!), I have been a little more relaxed with this rule. M has been pretty awesome over the past two weeks, having lost 8.3kg (you can read more here), so it was time he was rewarded with something yummy but super healthy/compliant. This is a great “base” recipe, which you can add different things to if you don’t have to be so restrictive like poor M does for now.
