Garlic Prawn Fettucini

Cost: $14

Prep: 15 minutes

This meal was expensive because I essentially made nothing from scratch. it was actually very quick, also for this reason.

It included:

• frozen cooked prawns
• Compliments fresh fettucini
• Olivieri garlic and herb cooking cream
• green beans

It was a nice dinner, and there was more than enough for lunch the next day plus a serving of prawns as a late night snack for Matt later in the week.

Pasta, Prawns, and Psalad

Cost: $12

Prep: 20 minutes

The goal for tonight's dinner was to clear room in the freezer. I took out the tortellini and prawns as they were awkward shaped and could be eaten together. (Although, if you ask my dad, everything goes together including fish sticks and spaghetti).

The prawns were sauteed in butter and garlic, and there were way too many to eat so Matt got a nice lunch!

Prawns!!!! (And Leftover Curry)

Cost: $5

Prep: 10 minutes

The highlight of this meal was the prawns. I used a decent amount of butter and a LOT of garlic. Yum! Delicious!

Our boy, who we thought didn't like prawns, ate a half dozen and would have had more if we were willing to part with them, which we were not.

We ate the prawns on the side of the leftover curry from a few days ago. Matt didn't think it would be enough, but I haven't been too hungry lately and it more than sufficed.

"Hmm, I guess I will try this..."

"That was good. Let me be cute so you will give me more."

Prawn Fettucini with Greek Salad

Cost: $12

Prep: 40 minutes

This dinner was expensive, and there was a lot of prep, but it was so good and oh so worth it!

I started by making a Greek salad. we already had the green pepper at home, and while at the store, we noticed black olives, tomatoes, feta, and cucumber were all on sale. However, anything with this many ingredients adds up.

Prawns were also on sale. $1 per pound. The only thing that annoyed me was the ones we bought (from the seafood counter) were still kind of frozen, and by the time that I was cooking, there was about 5 ounces of water in the bag, and I hate that I paid for that. Add another tick to the "Reasons to Stop Shopping at Thrifty's" list.

Anyway, I cleaned the prawns.















I lightly cooked the prawns in a bit of olive oil.
















I added 3/4 of a Garlic Philadelphia cooking cream.

















While I was doing this, I cooked up some Oliveri fettucini noodle. They came in little nests, which looked cool, but something about this made them stick really bad while cooking. Although it tasted good, I'm not sure that this is a product I will buy again (although I do have more to use up).

Anyway, everyone enjoyed this meal, including Charlie who made a solid attempt to eat off his big boy plate. However, it turns out that Chuck is not a fan of prawns. Who's child is this? Just kidding; we will love him despite his short comings :)
