For a milder prawn and potato dish, omit the ras el hanout and cayenne pepper and add 1 tbsp sweet paprika. Swap the wine for crème fraîche and use parsley instead of coriander.

Delicious meal, I put more potatoes in as it makes small portions. Also added spinach at the end and some steamed tenderstem broccoli for a bit of colour.
Really delicious quick meal, especially if you have new potatoes left over from day before. Ras el Hanout spice is not easy to find, but if you search on web you can find out how to make your own. Recipe says for 4, I think that would be 4 ‘small’ portions.
