Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 06:39:15 GMT

Step 1

Wash the potatoes but don't peel, then cut into quarters or suitable wedge sizes. Place in a polythene bag and add 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning and 50ml vegetable oil. Seal the bag and roll the wedges to coat them in oil and seasoning. Then place on a baking tray and cook in the oven for approximately 30 minutes gas mark 8 electric 230 fan 210, (ovens vary)

Step 2

Thinly slice 2 shallots, and cut the pepper into small pieces. Heat 50ml vegetable oil in a pan and when hot add the shallots and pepper. Cook until softened but not charred. Then add 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning and the jar of tomato pasta sauce. There is no need to add additional seasoning, all you need is in the Cajun seasoning.

Step 3

Take 4 large Basa fillets, wash or soak in milk for 10 minutes and then pat dry.

Step 4

Cover the bottom of a large baking dish with some of the sauce and place the Basa fillets on top

Step 5

Cover the fish with the remaining sauce

Step 6

Now place the King Prawns in the top of the sauce

Step 7

When the potato wedges still have 10 minutes to go, reduce the heat to gas mark 6 electric 200 fan 180 and place them on a low shelf. Place the fish and prawn dish uncovered on a shelf above them and cook on for 15 minutes. Prawns will be pink when ready, test fish to make sure it is hot firm and flaky, when it is serve up. Potatoes will also be ready at the same time.

Step 8

We added some boiled green beans to complement the dish, but any green vegetable would work and dress a few chives over the fish and prawns
