Nutritious, tasty and wholesome, this Slimming World recipe for king prawn jambalaya has been a family favourite for a while now.
That's because even though this recipe for king prawn jambalaya is from Slimming World, it's enjoyed by everyone - whether they're on the plan or not. It's a warming comfort dish that takes incorporates one of the tastiest types of seafood out there - the king prawn - into the recipe.
But if you're not a fan of king prawns, or can't find them in the supermarket, there's no issue with using pork or another type of Slimming World-approved meat like turkey or beef. Alternatively, you could make it completely vegetarian by using just vegetable in the recipe.
