Tonight Rikki was going bowling with his friends from work, so I decided to have something that he doesn't like - prawns. Unfortunately, Rikki's bowling was called off due to the snow but I still made a prawn linguine & he had McDonald's ;). He did try my pasta though and admitted he would probably eat it with a small amount of prawns! This is a dish I fell in love with when I started work at Jamie's and although I have to admit mine wasn't as good as the one at Jamie's, I'd say it was pretty darn good!
