Spicy Garlicky Prawns

 

Lately I have been spending fewer hours in the kitchen and more time at the gym doing Kung Fu and Tai Chi training.  This has meant that of an evening when I return home, I need something quick and nutritious to replenish my energy stores.  This was my creation last night.  Just be warned, I like food very spicy, so adjust amount of chillies according to your fire tolerance!

• 1/2 tin organic diced tomatoes
• salt and pepper

Serving Suggestion:

I served my prawns on a bed of sautéed greens.  I sliced 1 zucchini and 2 more chillies, then sautéed in coconut oil until starting to soften.  I then added in some broccoli that I had steamed earlier in the day to eat with my eggs for breakfast, and tossed in some shredded kale.
