  This was really good. The fennel seemed to be a strange choice to go with the prawns but the combination, along with the tomatoes and the olives, worked well and made a nice change from other prawn dishes.

  This was easy and delicious.I thought that it would be difficult to buy canned cherry tomatoes but they were available in a large supermarket branch and also in a local discount retailer.I added tomato puree to make the sauce more tomatoey. I would probably leave out the olives next time.

  This was very good and quick for a midweek meal. I used a tin of chopped tomatoes and added fresh cherry tomatoes. The addition of olives also added extra flavour. Would make again.

  Very quick and easy, and nice. But I did find that the tomato overwhelmed the prawns somewhat - but I shall do it again.

  Really quick & easy. I used up some left over passata and and a small tin of chopped toms. Unfortunately I didn't have any black olives, but would definitely do again and make sure I add them. I served it with a little bit of cous cous on the side.

  Made this as the main course for an after work dinner party last night (with the GF garlic mash recipe). It was so quick and easy, but with plenty of flavour. The ideal thing to pull out of the bag last minute, effortlessly impressive.

  Super quick and tasty even though I used normal tinned tomatoes and no olives. Would definitely make again.

  Nice recipe - next time I will use fresh tomatoes as the sauce was a little tart with the tinned ones. I also added a crushed dried red chilli which really sparkled it up!

  I love this recipe - I always make it with tinned chopped tomatoes and serve with cous cous.

  Not very impressed with this recipe. I thought there was too much red onion, the 10 min cooking time for the fennel was optimistic and it lacked some "spice". Maybe I should have added some garlic or herbs. Would also advise to use fresh tomatoes as tin ones make it too watery (and I was using good quality tin tomatoes) - 3 stars still because it's very quick and easy to make.

  I thought this was really tasty! Didn't have fennel so used a yellow and red pepper. Was lovely. Had some left and used for pasta next day. Yum!

  Bit disappointing this one. I like the idea from one of the other comments of adding some chilli or chorizo. Nice and light and nutritious dish as it is though, and easy to throw together; just feel it lacks an ingredient or two.
