Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 200 milliliters low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the prawns under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and chopped green chili, cooking for a further 2 minutes until the bell pepper begins to soften.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth, then stir in the cumin powder and coriander powder.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the prawns to the skillet, stir well to coat them in the sauce, and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the prawns are opaque and cooked through.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh coriander over the cooked prawns.
Serve hot, with a side of steamed rice or a fresh salad, for a complete low-fat meal.
