Peri Peri Prawns

with Veggie & Tomato Rice

Peri Peri. The Portuguese marinade so delicious, they named it twice. Our Portuguese-inspired peri-peri prawns are quick, delicious and simple to cook, making them a great thing to enjoy for a midweek dinner. Packed with fresh ingredients like chopped parsley, peppers and tomatoes, the flavours in this dish are hard to beat. Serve everything up in deep bowls and finish off with a good squeeze of fresh zesty lemon.

Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
