Prawns are still a huge favourite in our house so I’m always trying to think of new ways to cook this delicious seafood. Recently my son Ted has started to enjoy a little bit more spice with his meals. We found Dr Wills yummy BBQ sauce in the supermarket a little while ago. It’s not an advert for the company but it’s a great sauce to have to hand. I normally don’t like to use sauces because of all additives. Dr Wills is an all natural sauce that is gluten and dairy free. It tastes amazing and it’s a lovely sauce to use with prawns as well. We loved this dish and we hope you will too.

BBQ Prawn Rice was a big hit with my little family. It was an easy meal to prepare and cook. It would be a speedy weekend dinner or even a quick mid week meal. The dish is not freezable as it contains rice. Rice is best eaten fresh as if it’s left overnight it will grow mold. The mold is not good for the stomach. The dish is best eaten on the day it’s cooked. It would be good as leftovers the next day as long as it’s eaten with in the day and stored in the fridge overnight. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
