Ingredients

​

1 tbsp. coconut oil

230g prawns, defrosted

1 medium onion, diced

1 tbsp. fresh ginger, minced

1 tbsp. lime zest

110g jasmine rice, uncooked

1 ¼ cup (300ml) coconut milk, canned

190ml water

1 bell pepper, diced

½ mango, peeled, chopped

 

Instructions

1. Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick pan over high heat. Add in the prawns and season with salt & pepper. Once the prawns are pink, remove them from the pan and place it back on the heat.

 

2. Reduce heat to medium, then add the onion and ginger. Saute for about 3 minutes until slightly browned.
