Fiery Prawn Tagliatelle
Now for
all those who love spicy food this is a dish you should try. In less than 20
minutes this dish full of flavour is perfect for a mid-week meal. Since this
dish is so spicy I thought I would share some tips on what to do after
experiencing a hot pepper meal.
- I’m not a fan myself of milk but they say it works and is better than drinking water. Milk contains Casein that takes away the heat in your mouth making your mouth feel cooler.
- Since I have a constant sweet tooth I was not at all hesitant to try this remedy; take a teaspoon of sugar to neutralise the heat from the spicy peppers used.
- Chew on a slice of bread; the bread can soak up the oil capsaicin that makes your mouth hot.
- Finally try to eat milk chocolate. Even if that doesn't work the chocolate will be worth it!
