King Prawns with Roasted Garlic & Herb Sauce from The Saucy Fish Co.

I wouldn't usually serve prawns with potatoes and green beans, but we have been eating rather a lot of rice, pasta and couscous recently and I just felt like having some potato.  This was our Friday evening meal which means minimal cooking and  this Saucy Fish Co. dish definitely involved minimal preparation and cooking

These prawns come from The Saucy Fish Co.  and come in a foil bag with the garlic and herb butter, ideal just to pop into the oven.  The bag part steams and part bakes the prawns, blending the flavoured butters to create an amazing seafood dish.  It certainly has a real garlic kick!

  This is what the bags look like before they are cooked.  Simply prawns and a herb/garlic butter sealed in a bag which has foil on one side and a clear window on the other.

Once cooked, the prawns have turned pink and are swimming in the flavoured butter.  The portions are generous with each pack creating a good sized serving for two people. There is no denying that you could cook some prawns in a pan with butter, some crushed garlic and finely chopped herbs just as quickly, if not more quickly than using this product.  But if you are looking for convenience and good flavour then The Saucy Fish Co. King Prawns with Roasted Garlic and Herb Sauce does the job. 

The Saucy Fish Co. King Prawns with Roasted Garlic and Herb Sauce is exclusive to Asda, RRP: £4.00

I served the prawns with  Quick Scalloped Potatoes and some green beans which my neighbour kindly left for me.   

 Quick Scalloped Potatoes (serves 2)

2 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
50g butter
50ml milk
salt and freshly ground pepper

Preheat the oven to 200C

1. Use a little of the butter to butter an ovenproof dish.
2. Layer the sliced potato, seasoning between the layers.
3. Pour over the milk
4. Cover with clingfilm
5. Place in microwave and cook for 4-6 minutes, until the potatoes start to yield.
6. Dot the rest of the butter over the top of the potatoes
7. Bake for 10 minutes until starting to brown and crisp on the top.

Salmon with Watercress Sauce - a review

I was asked to review this recipe pack from The Saucy Fish Co.  I have to say I was a little sceptical of the value when I saw that it was basically just two salmon fillets and a packet of watercress sauce for £4.00 (Tesco).  However, I do enjoy salmon and it's something I often have for a quick supper.

I followed the instructions and baked the salmon in the oven for 25 minutes, alternatives of pan frying or grilling were provided.  I added some white wine and salt and pepper to my oven dish and covered it with foil.  The sauce can be served hot or cold and you simple dip the little sachet into a mug of boiling water to heat it.  Couldn't be easier and no extra pot to wash up.

I served my salmon with Jersey Royal potatoes and the lovely green beans and fresh peas from my Farmison hamper.  The fish was excellent, much better than the usual salmon fillets from the supermarket, it had a firm flesh and tasted very fresh.  The watercress sauce was also of a high quality without any additives or processed aftertaste, although I would have liked more of it.  My scepticism was unfounded  and I would recommend The Saucy Fish Co. fish packs as a great way to produce a first class meal without any hassle.  Let's face it, we all have days when we need that.
