I did this sauce using tuna cause I don’t like prawns as we call them in Australia
Recipe looks amazing n definitely will try it. I love shrimp but tend to just take the easy route n eat pre cooked store bought.

This recipe is delicious, other than the sauce needs something to thicken it, which I will add next time. Thank you for a great recipe.
