Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, shelled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chilli flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to become translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the red, yellow, and green bell peppers to the pan. Sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the red chilli flakes over the vegetables and season with sea salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Add the prawns to the pan, laying them out evenly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Once the prawns are cooked, add the fresh basil leaves and lime juice. Stir everything together gently to incorporate all the flavors.
Remove the pan from heat and serve the Paleo Chilli Prawn hot, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
