Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 large zucchini
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 liter chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini to create zucchini noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, then set aside.
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pot and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots and red bell pepper to the pot, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 3 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the fish sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the broth, stirring well.
Once the broth is simmering, add the prawns to the pot and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Gently add the zucchini noodles to the soup and let them cook for 2 minutes, just until they are slightly tender but still have a bite.
Stir in the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro, reserving some for garnishing.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with additional cilantro, and serve hot. Enjoy your Paleo Prawn Noodle Soup!
