Speedy shellfish dishes that will impress your friends and family
Niall McKenna shares his recipes for crab fried rice and prawn hot and sour soup
Cooking with shellfish may not be for everyone, but it’s always a crowd-pleaser at the restaurant.
Whenever we feature it on the menu, it practically flies out the door.
For a relaxed weekend meal, crab fried rice is a fantastic option - it’s simple, flavourful and makes for a great alternative to a pasta.
Fried rice, in general, is a wonderfully easy dish that comes together quickly, making it perfect for laid-back evenings when you want something satisfying without too much effort.
Another go-to is prawn hot and sour soup, which is both comforting and packed with bold flavours. It’s a speedy option for weekend cooking, and it’s easily adaptable - swap the prawns for chicken or pork if you prefer.
Both of these dishes are not only quick to prepare but also nutritious and full of freshness. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or entertaining friends, they’re guaranteed to impress without keeping you stuck in the kitchen for hours.
