Ingredients

50g Asda Extra Special Spanish Chorizo, skinned and thinly sliced

1 Onion, finely chopped

2 Peppers, any colour, deseeded, sliced

2 Celery Sticks, trimmed, thinly sliced

4tsp Cajun Seasoning

2 x 250g Packs Asda Wholegrain Micro Rice

400g Tinned Chopped Tomatoes

200g Frozen King Prawns (ready-cooked), thawed

1 Lemon, cut into wedges, to serve

Fresh Parsley, to serve (optional)

Corn On The Cob, steamed to serve (optional)

Method

1
Put the chorizo, onion, peppers and celery in a large, wide-based microwaveable dish. Cover and cook on high for 3 mins, or until beginning to soften. Stir in the Cajun seasoning and cook for a further 3 mins.
2
Squeeze the rice pouches to separate the grains. Add the rice and tomatoes into the dish. Cover and cook on high for 8 mins, or until the rice and tomatoes are piping hot, stirring after 4 mins. Add salt and ground black pepper if needed – this depends on your spice blend.
3
Stir in the prawns, cover and cook on high for 1 min more, or until the prawns are hot. Serve with lemon wedges and chopped parsley, if you like.

Cook’s tip: We cooked this dish using a 1,000W microwave oven. If yours has a lower wattage, increase cooking time slightly at each stage.
