Could Be Way Better
I recently tried two dishes from Tesco's new Tapas! at Tesco range. The first was Patatas Bravas. The other was Gambas Pil Pil (King prawns in chilli butter). I heated the tub up in the microwave and was pleasantly greeted by a lovely buttery aroma. Taste wise this dish just doesn't work very well.
The "king" prawns are pretty small and after microwaving become a little rubbery. The chilli butter has a nice back heat but didn't really cling to the prawns. Added to this was some small pieces of red pepper (flavourless) and white onion (for bulk I think). Again I thinl this is down to the microwave but this dish just doesn't translate well. It needs to be created fresh with raw prawns and a hot pan. Perhaps it would be better eaten with fresh crusty bread to sop up the butter but to be honest feels a bit cheap to me. Had it not been for the offer I probably would not buy again.
