Garlic and chili prawns are my go-to starter for a dinner party. Especially when served with a glass of wine and warm bread to mop up the juices.
They are super nutritious to have if you are trying to keep fit and healthy. But they are also a very quick and easy meal to prepare.
If you like quick, easy and healthy meals then try the best one pot chicken cacciatore.
