Prawn, Sausage & Zucchini Casserole

This gourmet recipe is also one that I found reading Mark's Daily Apple. I bought a bag of uncooked shrimp with the intention of making some delicious paleo meal. They sat in the freezer for one whole month.. just as bad as Aaron with his salmon. So finally they have defrosted and are ready to be part of my best paleo meal yet!

I hope you enjoy this meal. It has such strong flavours and aromas I was a little upset there was no left overs.

INGREDIENTS
  • 2-3kg Zucchini (I used four zucchinis)
  • 1 onion (finely chopped)
  • 6 slices baon (chopped into pieces)
  • 200g Italian sausage (I used grass fed beef)
  • 500g uncooked prawns (peeled/deveined/tails off)
  • 2 eggs
  • Butter, if needed for sauteing
  • Optional seasonings

METHOD
  • Preheat oven to 176C/375F
  • You can either peel the casing from the sausage and cook with the bacon in a large pot or cook the sausage and set aside to cool, cook bacon in same pot, chop sausage into bite sized pieces and add to pot.
  • When fats render, add onion
  • Add sliced zucchini and stir to coat
  • Turn to high so water from zucchini is cooked away so the s\zucchini can brown and caramelize rather than boil in its own water
  • I had to add some butter at this point as my bacon and sausage did not give off enough fat so everything was sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning!
  • The zucchini is done once it is slightly browned and there is no liquid sitting in the pot (I was too impatient and decided it was ready after 10mins of cooking
  • Season with whatever you like
  • Remove from stove and let cool
  • Beat eggs in a bowl and pour over zucchini mixture
  • Add uncooked prawns and stir to combine ingredients
  • Add to casserole dish and bake for 30mins
Enjoy!
