Celebrate Seafood Week with this quick and easy dinner recipe made using just 5 simple ingredients!

A quick and easy dinner recipe made using just 5 simple ingredients!

From 7th to 14th October Seafish are celebrating Seafood Week and encouraging us all to buy, cook and taste seafood more often.

Seafish have challenged me to create a delicious but super simple dinner recipe using seafood that the whole family can enjoy using just five ingredients.

I made this super tasty Garlic Butter Prawn Tagliatelle. My kids love pasta so I found it really easy to include some seafood into one of their favourite meals.

Current guidelines state that we should be eating two portions of fish and seafood a week. An excellent source of Omega-3, fish and seafood has many health benefits, including helping the heart to work normally, maintaining normal blood pressure and blood triglyceride levels contributing to normal brain development and being important for our eyesight and brain function.

Description

A quick and easy seafood dinner recipe using just 5 simple ingredients!


Ingredients

  • 300g dried Tagliatelli
  • 50g butter
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 150g fresh prawns
  • 100g fresh baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Cook the Tagliatelli in a pan of boiling water according to the package instructions.
  2. In a frying pan melt the butter and either crush or grate in the garlic cloves. Add the prawns and cook for a couple of minutes (if the prawns are already cooked they just need to be warmed through, if they are raw cook for a little longer until they have turned pink).
  3. In the last minute of cooking the Tagliatelli, add the spinach and cook just until it has wilted.
  4. Drain the Tagliatelli and spinach and mix with the garlic butter prawns.
  5. Serve immediately.

    My daughter loves fish pie.
    Simply some cod loin, Prawns, Packet of white Sauce, Parsley and Potatoes

    Cook the fish and prawns and then using a fork separate in chunks. Cook the white sauce and add a generous amount of fresh Parsley. (Can season with salt and pepper too if wanted)
    Add the fish and prawns to a small lasagne style dish and top with either the Potato cooked and mashed, or you can do it as thin sliced potatoes on top.
    Cook in the oven (180 degrees) for 25 mins or untill the potato has started to go golden.

    We cook a lot of things in coconut oil, which is supposed to be healthy. It gives things a slightly sweet flavor too. The contrast of the slightly sweet and the salty prawns would be good, thrown on a bed of rice.
