    Good one, and the same as everything else in that you can doctor it. I like chopped red chilli in mine, or if you can't eat shellfish leave out the prawns and use some chunks of quickly seared tuna or whatever you fancy. Good work!

    Some shredded chicken would also work very well in it I think
