I agree, colors can make a dish so appealing and appetizing. This dish of yours looks so tasty!
PH, thank you, thank you. 🙂
The colours are indeed bright, sunny and cheerful. I would enjoy this dish very much coz I love vegetables and prawns + I see some searing on your tomatoes. Did you cook this in a cast iron pan? 😉
Kris, yes, it’s one pot dish, all cooked in this cash iron pan and my pan was too small for my quantity. 😛
