I love the contrast: hot, fluffy rice; juicy honey garlic prawns; cool, crunchy toppings; and that sauce ties it all together.
Ingredients
Honey Garlic Prawns
1 teaspoon oil
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
300 g (10.5oz) pack raw king prawns (defrosted and de-veined)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
3 tablespoon light soy sauce
4 tablespoons honey
Rice Bowl
500 g microwave basmati or long grain rice (2x 250g packs or 1.1 lb altogether)
½ cucumber thinly sliced
1 avocado de-stoned and chopped into chunks
½ small red onion peeled and finely diced
1 tablespoon mixed black and white sesame seeds
3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander cilantro
Instructions
✅Heat the microwave rice through, as per the pack instructions. Once cooked, it can be left in the packs for a few minutes, while you cook the prawns.
✅Now make the prawns. Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan (skillet) over a high heat until the butter starts to bubble.
✅Season the king prawns with the salt, pepper and paprika, then add to the pan and fry, turning often with a spatula for 1-2 minutes, until the prawns start to turn pink.
✅Turn the heat down to medium and add the garlic. Stir together for a further minute, then add the soy sauce and honey.
✅Stir together for a further minute, then turn off the heat.
✅Divide the rice between bowls. Arrange the honey garlic prawns on top, along with the cucumber, avocado and red onion.
✅Drizzle any sauce left in the pan over prawns and rice.
✅Sprinkle on the sesame seeds and fresh coriander and serve.
