Preparation

Step 1

Put pasta shells in a large pan of boiling water and cook till soften. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Sear the salmon slices and the tiger prawns quickly to seal in the juice and bring out the colour and flavour. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

With the same pan, sweat the onion and garlic without browning. Add in peppers and mushrooms. Fry for 1 minutes. Sizzle in the white wine. Add in the milk and the grated Cheddar. Bring to the boil. Simmer gently till the cheese is melted.

Step 3

Thicken the sauce with blended cornflour with 1 tablespoon of water. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Break the seared salmon into big chunks. Add the salmon and prawns to the cheese sauce. Heat through.
