Recipes with seafood
This squid ink pasta dish is a coypcat of my favourite dish from Lulu La Delizia, one of the best restaurants in Perth. What I love most about their dish is how it has that rich prawn oil flavour with a touch of sweetness from the red vermouth sauce. Of course, it is best to … Continue reading Squid Ink Pasta with Prawn
Homemade prawn hargow will always taste that little bit better than store-bought frozen fare.
