INGREDIENTS
Marinade
- 250 g/0.5 lbs prawns, cleaned
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp arrowroot or tapioca flour
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (for cooking)
Sauce
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 red or green chili, chopped
- 1/2 bell-pepper, chopped into 2-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup spring onions, chopped (whites and greens separated)
- 1 onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp of Ri’s Red Chili Sauce
- 1 tbsp Ri’s Coconut Aminos
- 2 tsp white/black vinegar
- 2 tbsp water
- Salt & pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a bowl, combine the prawns with the other marinade ingredients (except oil).
- Mix everything well and set aside for 10 mins. This helps release the excess moisture from the prawns.
- Heat the avocado oil in a pan and fry the prawns on medium heat. Be careful not to overcook them (nothing worse than rubbery prawns).
- Remove the prawns onto a plate lined with paper towels. The prawns should be slightly crisp.
- Clear up the pan and add 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant.
- Add chilies, capsicum, onion cubes and spring onions (whites). Sprinkle a little salt.
- Sauté everything on a medium-high flame, for about 2 minutes until the bell peppers are half-cooked and still crunchy.
- Add chili sauce, coconut aminos, vinegar, pepper, and 2 tbsp of water.
- Mix and allow the sauce to bubble. Taste and add adjust to your liking.
- Switch off the stove and add in the prawns.
- Toss well and add the spring onions (greens).
