Here is another single-serving recipe for you to try, but it would be easy to double it. It is the very popular ‘Creamy Garlic Prawn Pasta’ and I added some Chilli Flakes. I am confident this dish tastes as good as the restaurant dish, if not better. I used Frozen shelled Prawns that I always stock in the freezer. It is much easier to cook than you think.
