So, totting that up, maybe 800/900g of food? Too much for me alone, but it doesn't sound a lot for a family of four, in truth.
Pretty sure you could get the cost down, too, using normal rice and some chook stock...
add the 800ml of water,some of which will evaporate, I'm sure you'll get closer to 1.5kgPretty sure you could get the cost down, too, using normal rice and some chook stock...
I do a similar thing but marinate the prawns in sweet chilli sauce first, and chuck in a tin of drained chopped tomatoes and some chopped spring onions. Cook the rice seperately and throw it all in and let it simmer for a bit until the prawns are pink.
Omit the peppers and you have a ruddy tasty, quick meal on the cheap.

Looks like a perfect quick weekday meal for me and my two young daughters Pretty sure you could get the cost down, too, using normal rice and some chook stock...
Have just picked up the ingredients for this, not sure whether I'm a snob (nearly got TTD prawns instead) or a cheapskate (72p for a pepper? If I could be bothered to go to the market...). But mainly I want to say:
Oi! Sainsbury's! Put the fking rice in the aisle that's got the fking 'Rice' sign over it. It's grocery shopping not the fking Krypton Factor.
That's better.

Anyway, wasn't bad for what it was. Only fed a family of 1, although I am thinking that perhaps I didn't really need to eat all of it. Mind you, I used to frequent Spanish restaurants in NYC where the paella for one would dwarf that quantity.

quick tip, they sell peeled frozen uncooked prawns cheaper than they do at the counter (the counter ones are frozen too)
much nicer than the pre cooked plus you can de-vain them
Also, in Tesco, raw frozen king prawns are on offer from £5 to £2.25 a pack.much nicer than the pre cooked plus you can de-vain them
Almost as cheap as the rubbish little pink things in the chilled aisle.
