This is a light, fragrant and colourful, yet easy to prepare Mediterranean inspired dish. It is both healthy and flavourful.
I usually serve this dish with Lemon pasta (Pasta al limone), Garlic pasta (Spaghetti Aglio e Olio),Lemon pesto pasta, a simple and light Pesto pasta, or any pasta of your choice or rice.
