Love Bites Prawn and Avocado Courgetti

This was one of my first courgetti recipe attempts and turned into a sure winner. It's a light take on a prawn spaghetti dish made with courgettes, dressed in lemon juice and an honestly healthy meal that is full of nutrients and flavour. A perfect dish literally made in minutes, and a great way to start the New Year by replenish some goodness back into your body. Go on #eatclean2015
