Have some King Prawns (pre-cooked) and a tin of crab meat... any ideas of what I can do with those for a meal - I have both tagliatelle and Noodles in my store cupboard, also dried and fresh mushrooms, spring onions and shallots... and the usual herbs and spices are there too...

I had king prawns defrosted, also cooked, and was at a loss until I found a sachet of chow mein sauce in my cupboard. I stir fried them with vegetables that I had in the fridge, plus some frozen peas and fresh noodles. Dried noodles would work just as well if you cooked them first. Added the sauce and voilà, a lovely lunch in no time at all.

Thanks hildajenniJ... may have a chow mein sauce here and definitely have frozen peas here so will give that a go!

Another thing you can do with prawns is deep fry in batter, then serve with sweet and sour sauce and rice. Plenty of recipes on line for the sauce.
