First, we start with some fresh green prawns. I had about 1&1/2kgs, this
was about 3/4 of them when I wanted to have a break from shelling.....

Now if we could just be able to eat all the heads/shells, we'd get our
money's worth!! And deveining them was a PITA too...... I wish someone
would breed a prawn with no poo-chute!! LOL!! An ocean full of prawns with
colostomy bags!! Sorry, I digress.......

Then there's the mushrooms........ I also had shallots and red capsicums,
but didn't 'shoot' them

Chicken stock out of the freezer, to cook the veges in

A couple of 'helpers' in the kitchen

The pasta, before it was cooked....... good Aussie pasta

At this stage, I had the veges and the prawns cooked and had made the
cream sauce. Initially, I threw the veges in a very hot pan and seared
them a bit, before adding some stock. When they were cooked, took them
out, and reduced the stock by 1/2. Added the prawns, seasoning, cooked
them, added some cream, and a good splodge of brandy, and put the veges
back in and mixed them all in.
At this stage, I also had a frypan going with the scallops (and more
garlic and butter!!) cooking. The SO doesn't like the taste of scallops,
so I dished hers up and then added the scallops for the last 30secs of
their cooking time.

All your dishes look 'zactly the same, a heap of undecipherable trash
slimed over with thick jizz... like you slopped out the dumpster at
the stupidmarket and got all the bums to whack off all over it.
