Possible Variations With This Recipe!
A few ways to customize this recipe are as follows:
- If you’re not in the mood for shrimp, try a different protein. Of course! Scallops, or even some robust fish pieces like halibut or cod, would be good options.
- Are you considering becoming a vegan? Veggie Power can help. Substitute tofu or tempeh for the prawns. Substitute vegan-friendly butter or regular ol’ olive oil for the butter. And if you’re craving something cheesy, try a vegan Parmesan.
- Is Italian seasoning not in the cupboard? Herb It Up! Not a problem! Use dried oregano, thyme, and basil to make your own blend, or use garden-fresh basil, parsley, and thyme.
