    Made this to the letter, apart from substituting the fennel for some fresh tarragon, as couldn't get fennel, and wanted that aniseedey taste; I thought it was really bland, and if I'm honest, a big waste of prawns. Sorry GF, I normally love your stuff, but this was just cak. :(

    Oh, just to add, in desperation, I added some salt and pepper, (and I like my seasoning!) and even that didn't improve it. :(

    I haven't cooked it yet but would rather do it as pasta salad, with Mayo + creme fraiche.

    Slightly agree with KJF - this needs a *lot* of seasoning - I added a large pinch of salt and a generous amount of salt for just me. But with that seasoning, I thought this was a really light, refreshing pasta dish.
