PRAWN (JUMBO SHRIMP) AND ZUCCHINI IN GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Prawn (Jumbo Shrimp) and Zucchini in Gorgonzola Sauce image

A warm comforting dish that came from inspiration of a box of black rice and some leftover frozen prawns. It is rather quick and easy but doesn't taste like it! Not at all low fat but you have to spoil yourself sometimes! :) Goes great with Forbidden rice risotto, but would be nice on top of pasta as well.
