Cooks Note

This light, healthy supper dish, full of fresh vegetables, is really quick and simple to make, a perfect tasty supper for two.

Fresh prawns are best but, for speed and convenience, you can always keep a bag of frozen king prawns in the freezer and defrost just the amount you need. You can also vary the vegetables to suit you, or to use up what’s in the fridge.
