Prawn Fried Rice

Just as per the CHICKEN FRIED RICE recipe...but add tiger prawns! I also added some chilli flakes for an extra kick. Delicious!

Prawn & Red Pepper Curry

My picture doesn't really do this much justice but this was really tasty. 

Serves 4 (1 syn per portion)

Sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch (3.5 syns)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

4 tablespoons tomato puree

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

400ml chicken stock

1/4 teaspoon sweetener

2 tablespoons medium curry powder

2cm piece of ginger grated

1 large onion sliced

2 red peppers sliced

Prawns or meat of choice

Stir fry the peppers and onion in some frylight until soft.  Add the sauce and mix through for a few minutes.  Then add prawns and cook for about 5-10 minutes until warmed and cooked through.

Serve on rice - enjoy :)

Prawn Curry

Super quick and super easy!  Totally syn free!  My kinda meal!

Serves 4

can of chopped tomatoes

4 cloves crushed garlic

2cm piece of ginger peeled and grated

2 tablespoons of curry powder (I used mild)

1/2 teaspoon of sweetener

500g prawns

Add all the ingredients except the prawns to pan and bring to the boil.  Simmer for 8-10 minutes. Add the prawns and warm through for 5 minutes.

Voila!

Garlic & Ginger Prawns

Yumsters!  I've made this with chicken too and it works just as nice, although I leave the chicken to marinade for longer.  It's so simple to make and most of the work is just in the preparation.  It works out at only 1 syn per serving.

Serves 4

600g Prawns

large onion sliced

200g broccoli florets thinly cut

1 carrot thinly sliced

8 spring onions sliced

2cm piece of ginger grated

handful of bamboo shoots

100ml chicken stock

1 tablespoon of oyster sauce

Marinade

6 tablespoons of light soy sauce

4 garlic gloves crushed

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon of cornflour

First marinade the prawns for 15 minutes.

Add frylight and stir fry the onions, then add the vegetables and ginger and stir fry for another couple of minutes.  Add the stock and cook for a few minutes - add the prawns and oyster sauce and cook for 5 minutes.  

Spicy Prawns

Oh this is a new firm favourite!! It did look much nicer in real life than what it looks in my picture!! 

This recipe came from a lovely blog http://www.eat-yourself-skinny.com

It tasted delicious and the spice mixture was just right. Will definitely be having it again and might even be able to convert my prawn hater husband into liking them! haha

It's so quick and easy to make and all you do is mix all the ingredients - add it to the prawns and either fry or grill them.  I quickly fried mine in frylight for a couple of mins until they were cooked and they went teeny, but as the author of the blog says, this would be delicious using big king prawns and making skewers with them. 

This recipe is for 2lb of prawns, but I only had a fraction of that, so I just adjusted and halved the amounts.

3/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon curry powder (mild)

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix all the ingredients together and add to the prawns, mixing until they are all covered.  Stir fry with some frylight for a few minutes until the prawns are cooked.  Squeeze lime juice over the top and serve.
