Maggi World Flavours Carribean Mango & Prawns - with rice and corn
Apparently using this tasty frozen meal you can "explore the zest of life on the carabean islands.
The first thing I noticed is on the pack its very nice looking, in two little bowls and looks scrummy. When I pulled out the rectangle box I was glad I was getting my money's worth but wanted little bowls! Plus there;s a lime in the picture. I want a lime. A "carnival of flavours, blending succulent prawns in an exotic Carribean sauce combining coconut milk, mango, pineapple and a hint of chilli" sounds good but I never get my hopes up with frozen meals. I mean come on 11% prawns? 38g prawns = 5-6 shelled, so maybe 7 unshelled. I'll be counting..
Nutrition: 1400kj/335cal, 5.2g fat (3 sat fat), 9g protein, 3.2g fibre, 440mg sodium (low for a frozen meal. Needs bulking up with veggies for sure. Its all sauce. I can tell.
Price: Usually $6 but I got a BOGOF so $3. Well worth it
Taste: As usual, frozen meal, high sodium, tastes like it needs more salt. Esp the rice. But impressed with the sauce! Its a really rich tasting thing for a frozen meal, which are usually watery messes. But this is nice and thick and went nicely with my added brocolli. It also has a little kick, but not enough to linger annoyingly. The prawns are a little eh, but not completely tasteless. I also had a side salad so wrapped some up in the lettuce. Yummy. Just a tip - mix the rice with the sauce at some stage. I usually eat my rice plain, or with sauce for a little bit, but this rice is pretty bland.
Reccomendation: Get your Caribbean on and bulk this baby up with some veggies. I used asparagus, mainly cos thats whats in the fridge. Its a decent size for a frozen meal, i spilt rice and now I'm full but not over-full. I ended up putting it in another bowl as it was HOT. Oh and guess how many prawns? 8 :) So it gets a 8/10 :D Will buy another from the range this week as they are on special plus fly-buys points
