Prawn and Feta Zoodles

  • A handful of frozen prawns
  • A handful of grilled artichoke in oil, drained
  • 1 courgette, juilienned
  • A chicken stock cube
  • A splash of white wine
  • A handful of spinach
  • Juice of quarter of a lemon
  • 3 teaspoons of low fat natural yogurt
  • 2 cloves of crushed garlic
  • A sprinkling of paprika
  • 50g low fat feta cheese cubed

In a non stick pan or wok, add everything except the feta, yoghurt and lemon juice. Fry for approximately 10 minutes or until the prawns are cooked.

Add feta cheese and continue to cook until partially melted. Add lemon juice and cook for a further minute.

Remove from heat and stir in yoghurt.

Serves one as a main meal, or 2 with bread, rice or other carbs.


Notes

I wished I'd taken a photo of this because it looked so nice. The spinach and green of the courgettes was really appealling. It tasted so good too, the artichokes gave it a bit of substance. You could easily substitute for something else if they aren't to your taste.

This is not only pretty healthy, it's also quite a good standby meal. Apart from the yoghurt, you could probably do this all out of the cupboard/freezer. Feta keeps for ages so it's a great cheese to have at the back of the fridge. I used frozen spinach and pickled garlic cloves and although I used fresh courgette this time, mostly when I make zoodles it's frozen.

All in, this is a great dish. I will definitely make this again. I may try to Slimming World it up a bit though and skip the wine (maybe sub white wine or cider vinegar) and maybe get artichoke hearts tinned in salted water rather than oil.
