Hey gigi,

Certainly hope you've enjoyed the dish. Fresh cut chilli might be too sharp for your liking unless you are crazy about chillies like me. I suggest you might want to substitute fresh cut chilli with chilli flake (less spicy)

Mmmmm... I must try that FlaMie, it looks delicious - I've mainly been having prawns a couple of days a week, but cold with salad.
