Celebrate Seafood Week with this 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.

Instructions
- Cook the Tagliatelli in a pan of boiling water according to the package instructions.

- Drain the Tagliatelli and spinach and mix with the garlic butter prawns.
- Serve immediately.

I love to fry prawns in garlic and chilli, and then put them in filo pastry parcels with a little lemon – they make great Christmas Dinner starters!

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.

Prawns cooked with extra virgin olive oil, ½ tsp Chinese five spice seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste, 2 tbsp dry white wine
David says
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.
