Summer Prawn Stew Recipe (Garides Giouvetsi)

So, some of the courses I am taking are on Food Photography, and I have now been able to find which window 🙂 yep,  you read it correctly, window helps me a bit more with the lighting.  The only window which I never expected to give me much more light than the larger ones is the small window I have in my kitchen.   My camera is small  and  has no light settings which makes things a bit harder when your trying to take decent pictures.  I am happy with my little window and the results so far, but still have a wayyyy to goooo that is for sure!!  But on the other hand  with the result of the featured image !!  (If your interested in photography look into Dark Food Photography soooo interesting) 🙂

I guess you can call this some what of a stew because I really don’t know what else to call it.  I’ve added a whole bunch of Prawns in it along with that delicious Orzo pasta, and it makes such a yum yum dish.  A while back I had added Ouzo into this but the taste of the Ouzo just took over all the other ingredients and it wasn’t something I enjoyed because not a fan of Ouzo, but as a appetiser it’s just right!  🙂
