Creamy Cajun Salmon & Prawns

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornflour mixed through 1/4 cup water

Method

  • Do the same with the prawns & cook in the same pan. Set aside. Only semi cook as these will continue to cook in the sauce.

  • Add the cornflour mix & let it simmer for a few minutes, add the seafood in.
  • Cook on low until the prawns are cooked & salmon is cooked to your liking.
  • Garnish with lemon slices & parsley. 
  • Serve with mash, rice, pasta & vegetables.
