Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for stricter keto)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing all ingredients: peel and devein the prawns if they aren't already. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and cut the zucchini into half-moons. Mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the prawns to the pan. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to turn pink. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and ginger, and stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the pan. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Return the prawns to the skillet and pour the soy sauce (or coconut aminos) over the mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the prawns are fully cooked and heated through.
Sprinkle the stir fry with toasted sesame seeds and toss everything together gently.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
