Prawn Toast Pizza
Ever have that craving for a food so delicious you must have it on your plate immediately? For me, that food is prawn toast - especially on those more delicate days after a night of excess. Whenever I order Chinese food, prawn toast is always my first choice. So I thought, why not try a pizza version? I gave it a go, and oh boy, it delivered! Check out the results here. Plus I might add, it's a pretty healthy alternative to the usual pizza toppings.
