Considering how busy we are at the moment dinner tonight needed to be something quick and easy.
We are both fans of laksa, and often enjoy a nice bowl of Chicken Laksa for lunch on the weekends. Today the weather is quite warm so I was leaning towards a stirfry when I came accross this recipe in a new Weight Watchers cook book I had just purchased.
I have to say it was really nice and another quick meal (on the table in under 30 minutes I must add)that I will, no doubt, cook again.

Oh yum...I have been craving shrimp in soup lately! I am so trying this version!
Wow, this looks amazing. I'm a sucker for anything with prawns!
A savory shrimp dish in half an hour! Impressive. My quick meals are usually lacking in flavor, but this dish looks so flavorful and elegant.
