Friday Nights Living - Prawn Pot

Everyone, once in a while, get those crazy weeks that you weren't sure you would make it through; so that come Friday the only thing you look forward to is a cosy night-in as the start up plan for your weekend.

Personally, I have a list of things I usually put together (a bit like a recipe) to make it my perfect evening. 

My list normally goes like this:-

• Pyjamas 
• Trashy Friday night telly
• Food + Vino

In no particular order, but simple enough as I believe that there's great satisfaction to be gained from the simplest things. 

Now I do love to snack as much as the next person, but since my plan was to gradually unwind for the weekend, I always decide to cook. Cooking for me is soothingly therapeutic. And the end result is my prize! 

The meal of the night was made from a recipe that quite frankly I sort of fashioned out by picking up ideas from different sources, but I think credit has to mainly go to a family owned Portuguese restaurant I visited a a couple of years back somewhere in South London. Such a shame I can't remember where it was exactly. To be honest, I have never known what to call it so I decided to go with "Prawn Pot". All I know is that it never fails to hit the spot for me.

Now since time is always of the essence, I always buy my prawns fresh before cleaning and freezing them for times like this. No one got time to be gutting prawns on a Friday night :-).
