Share
Fresh, comforting, and packed with juicy prawns – this pie is perfect for laid-back weekend dinners or a midweek treat with a twist. Using 1kg of our Just Caught prawns, it’s seafood comfort food at its finest.
Ingredients:
- 1kg Just Caught raw prawns, peeled and deveined (defrosted if frozen)
- 750g Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 50g butter
- 3 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 300ml milk
- 150ml double cream
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Small bunch of parsley, chopped
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: handful of grated cheese for the top
Method
- Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until soft. Drain well, then mash with a knob of butter and a splash of milk until smooth. Season to taste and set aside.
- In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the spring onions and garlic, cooking for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the flour, cooking for another minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let it bubble gently for 3–4 minutes until it thickens.
- Add the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and season well. Fold in the prawns and cook for 2–3 minutes until just turning pink – don’t overdo it! They’ll finish cooking in the oven. Stir through the chopped parsley.
- Spoon the creamy prawn filling into a baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes and fluff it up with a fork. Sprinkle over a little grated cheese if using.
- Bake at 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Serve With:
- Steamed greens or a crisp garden salad
- A wedge of lemon on the side for extra zing
