This is one of my go to weeknight dinners when I want something satisfying but don't have much time. King prawns and butter beans create a really lovely combination that feels impressive but honestly takes just twenty minutes from start to finish. Butter beans are packed with fiber and plant based protein, so they make this stew genuinely nourishing without being heavy. The garlic gives everything such wonderful depth, and the cherry tomatoes break down into a silky sauce. It's the kind of simple, affordable meal that tastes far more special than the effort it requires. Serve it with crusty bread to soak up every last drop.

My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser.
