I posted some images about this recipe on Instagram earlier this month, and a follower commented that they were no good at cooking prawns. I mentioned that I actually baked these prawns in the oven and they were prefect. Just toss your prawns in the spicy seasonings, place on some baking paper and then roast until pink, firm and just cooked through {approximately 6-8 minutes at 180 degrees}. It couldn’t be simpler.
Now in an effort to watch our waistlines this dish also contains one of our favourite ingredients at the moment – Chobani greek yoghurt. Haven’t heard of Chobani? Chobani was founded on the belief that people have great taste. They just need great options. That’s why they started Chobani back in 2005 — to make high-quality, great tasting yogurt available to the masses.
In just five short years, yogurt lovers made Chobani Greek Yogurt the #1 selling yogurt brand in America! So it was only right that they spread their wings to Australia — home to a nation of people who are passionate about food and some of the best milk in the world.
And guess what? They are currently challenging a handful of great food bloggers to come up with a unique, healthy recipe using Chobani yogurt as a key ingredient – #MadeWithChobani. So read on for my great recipe!
