Paprika Prawns with Bell Peppers

Paprika Prawns with Bell Peppers is a sublime dish that is full of every essential a perfect dish must have. It has an amazing flavour, a seductive aroma, looks appetising and has a gentle warmth to it. This main dish has them all. I serve this on a bed of rice and a chilled glass of wine for a perfect dish. All of this is ready within 25 minutes and ideal for those who like taste and style quickly. You can swap prawns for shrimp but will always keep the warmth from the smoked paprika and cayenne.
