Kid-Friendly Prawn Aglio e Oglio
Back in the days before kids I'd pack this, one of my favourite dishes, with loads of fresh red chilli but now, not possible. My eldest can however probably give Bubba Shrimp a run for his money when it comes to eating prawns so I thought I'd do a kid-friendly aglio e oglio. No chilli but loads of garlic, and some extra veg.

Nutritional Info
Prawns make such great finger food for little ones, and they’re a fantastically healthy food for them to get into. The courgette is optional but any veg would work well here.
