This is something just a little bit different with a very interesting combination of flavours. This is good for a special meal and is perfect simply served with warm Naan bread to mop up the delicious juice. It’s easier to make than you may think and is packed full of flavour similar to a classic Spanish paella. It doesn’t take long to make too which is a bonus so you could try this meal mid-week if you’re in the mood for a change or bored of the same old dinner.

The mussels can be removed from their shells when cooked if preferred – returned to the pan and heated through again. The prawns and mussels can then be served in the sauce with rice.
