Directions
| Step 1 | Spread the prawns evenly in large shallow baking dish/gratin dish. Mix the herbs and seasonings together and then sprinkle them over the prawns. |

| Step 3 | Take the prawns out of the oven and add the cooked spaghetti to the prawns in the baking dish/gratin dish; mix well and then sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top and bake for a further 5 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and the prawn gratin is bubbling hot. (Add the cooked mussels at this point if using) |
| Step 4 | Serve with lemon wedges and fresh parsley sprigs. |
